Pre-K in NYC Basics

Children who turn four years of age by December 31, 2014 (children born in 2010) are eligible for free pre-kindergarten in public school and community-based organization settings. All New York City pre-kindergarten programs share a common goal: to prepare children for school and life by giving them a solid foundation.

The deadline for public school applications is April 23, 2014.
