Dear families,
Do you have a child born in 2019? If so, you will apply to pre-K this winter!
The pre-K application will open in late January 2023; stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the application period. Here’s what you can do now to prepare:
- Explore pre-K programs in our searchable MySchools directory. Watch the pre-K video playlist on our website, featuring several MySchools tutorials including how to create an account.
- Learn how to navigate the MySchools directory – you can search program options near you by entering your address and filter based on your needs. For example, you can filter for programs that offer late pickup or have Head Start seats.
- Attend program open houses! Visiting programs online or in person is a great way to imagine what it’s like to go there. Each program’s website is listed on its MySchools page, or contact them directly to learn if they will be hosting any virtual or in-person events. You can also view and save events to your calendar using our new MySchools Events Calendar.
All New York City families with children born in 2019 are encouraged to apply. Even if your child is currently attending a 3-K program, you still have to apply to pre-K.
Want to learn more? Visit our pre-K admissions website. We’ll also be sending a series of updates and reminders throughout the application process.
Still have questions? Call us at 718-935-2009 or visit your local Family Welcome Center.
Best,
The Elementary Admissions Team
