Which boarding schools admit four year olds?

Very few, if any, traditional boarding schools admit children as young as four years old. Most boarding schools begin accepting students at ages 7-13, with the majority starting around ages 11-13. A four-year-old is typically still in preschool or pre-kindergarten, requiring a level of care and supervision not generally provided by a typical secondary boarding school.

While some schools might have a very young entry age in their pre-preparatory or nursery programs, these are usually day programs or might be part of a broader boarding system, but the boarding component wouldn't start until a later age. You would not find a standard boarding school experience for a four-year-old.

If you're looking for residential care for a four-year-old, you should investigate options like:

* Preschools with on-site residential care: Some private preschools might offer limited residential options.

* Specialized care facilities: Facilities for children with special needs might provide residential care at younger ages.

* Foster care or adoption agencies: If the child is in need of care outside of the family home, these are appropriate resources to contact.

It is extremely important to carefully research any institution considering placing a four-year-old in a residential setting. Their well-being and appropriate level of care are paramount.
