É«ÖÐÉ«

The É«ÖÐÉ« offers a Pre-K Program for four-year-olds. To be eligible for the 2024-2025 school year, a child must:

• Have a birthdate between December 2, 2019 and December 1, 2020
• Reside in the É«ÖÐÉ«

This program is partially funded by a state grant and is subject to the passage of the New York State budget. If your child qualifies for the program and is given a seat through our random lottery numbering system, they will be enrolled at one of the following sites. 

• County North Children’s Center, Inc. (Full Day)
• Northminster Early Childhood Center (Full Day)
• PEACE, Inc./Head Start (Full Day)
• Shining Stars Daycare, Inc. (Full Day and Half Day)
• True North Center for Children (Full Day)

All programs are five days a week and follow the É«ÖÐÉ« calendar. Instruction is consistent with New York State Pre-Kindergarten learning standards which focus on a child’s social/emotional, cognitive and physical development.

Transportation to and from the program is the responsibility of parents/guardians and students must attend the program five days a week to maintain their seat. The É«ÖÐÉ« does not provide transportation.

Families who have completed the interest form and completed the registration process by midnight on April 7, 2024, will be part of a random lottery numbering system. 

Acceptance into the program is NOT on a first-come first-served basis. Unfortunately, not everyone will get a seat in the program.     

Families receiving a number beyond the seats available will be placed on a wait list. Registrations received after midnight on April 7, 2024, will not be included in the lottery. 

Completed registrations after the lottery will be added to a waitlist and parents will be notified if/when an opening occurs.  

The Pre-K Interest Form will be available online beginning January 8 on the Pre-K Web page.
