Pre-K Registration Ends On October 28!

A reminder from the Department of Education:

You can still enroll your four-year-old in a Universal Pre-kindergarten (UPK) program at a public school or an early childhood community-based organization (CBO) program. Universal Pre-kindergarten programs are free for children who turn four by December 31, 2011 and live in New York City.

To find a UPK program in your area you can:

• Call 311
• Visit the Department of Education website
• Type in your address at NYCityMap. It will show you the programs closest to you.

The deadline to register is October 28, 2011. Be sure to contact the Pre-kindergarten programs in your area to find out about availability. Openings will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

When you go to register, bring the following:

• Your child
• Proof of residence (two documents)
• Child’s birth certificate or passport
• Child’s immunization records
