NYC children born in 2012 are eligible to attend free, full-day, high-quality pre-Kindergarten in the fall. The pre-K application deadline is Friday, March 4, 2016. Eligible families must apply by the deadline in order to receive a full-day pre-K offer from the NYC Department of Education.
We need your help to get the word out!
How to help:
- Make copies of this one-page Pre-K Info Sheet available to families in your community.
(available in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English, French, Haitian Creole, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Urdu).
You can also request palm cards, posters, and other materials using this form.
- Send out an email to your mailing list. Make sure families with children born in 2012 know there are three ways to apply:
- Online via the pre-K website.
- Over the phone by calling 718-935-2067 (8am-6pm).
- In person at a Family Welcome Center(8am-3pm).
