Pre-K Application Deadlines Extended

Parents were given five more days to file and application.

The application deadline for Pre-K enrollment has been extended to April 10 (

Parents can apply online or in-person for public school Pre-K programs. To apply online, applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on April 10. For in-person applications, parents can visit their local enrollment office to fill out a paper application, or can work with a counselor to complete the online application. The deadline for in-person applications at an enrollment office is April 10 at 3 p.m.

Community-based organization (CBO) pre-kindergarten programs have no specific application deadline. Families should return applications for CBO programs directly to the providers they choose, and will be notified by CBOs about their placement. Because CBOs may continue to accept applications as long as they have openings, families are encouraged to contact CBOs about seat availability before they apply.
