Beginning with the school year, 3-K for All programs are offered in all 32 schools districts: In school districts 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 19, 23, 27, 31, and 32, there is a 3-K seat for every three-year-old.
In school districts 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 and 30, we will offer 3-K seats to as many families as possible. Families across the city can still apply to programs in any district, and your child has priority to attend 3-K for All programs in the district where they live. Consider NYC Early Education Centers if your child currently attends the center, has a sibling also attending the program, or your family receives social services from the organization that runs the center.
Head Start: Free services are available for at least 8 hours per day, all year long, including the summer. Head Start programs help families achieve their own goals, including employment, housing, and adult education.
In this setting, 3-K children are served in mixed-age groups with other children from birth to three years old. These programs are consistent with 3-K programs offered in center-based and district school settings, and are overseen by the Department of Education and a Family Child Care Network organization that provides instructional resources, coaching, and family support.
Families may choose to enroll their children in home-based early childhood programs because of their many unique strengths: Children can form strong relationships with caregivers by continuing in the same program from six weeks to three years old. Children can interact with other children, including siblings, in a mixed-age setting.
Children can begin their early education in a familiar setting before transitioning to center- or school-based pre-K, if that is the family's preference. Families can have access to programs that offer longer days and years to meet the needs of work or school schedules. Families can find programs that are conveniently located close to home, work, or school. Families may find that home-based programs best reflect the language and culture of their community. Like center- and school-based programs, home-based 3-K programs help children learn, grow, and explore the world around them.
Home-based programs use DOE-approved curriculum, and the providers receive professional learning and coaching to support quality play-based instruction. When visiting a 3-K program virtually or in person, consider asking staff members questions about the program, such as: How will the teachers learn about my child's interests, strengths, and needs?
How will your program help children get to know the teachers and the other staff? How would you describe the community of teachers and families here? How do teachers work with families? How do teachers guide children's behavior? How will staff members make sure my child feels safe and cared for?
What are your program's strengths? What are you working on improving? How do teachers support children who speak a language other than English at home?
Learn How Children Get Offers How can you know your child's chances of getting an offer from one of your favorite programs? Children get 3-K offers based on three key factors: Your application choices Program's seat availability Admission priorities 3-K admissions is not first come, first served, and you can make changes to your application any time before the April 30 deadline.
How to Apply During the application period, families can apply one of two ways: Online with MySchools. By phone at Interpretation services are available in more than languages for over-the-phone applications. You can ask questions and request information about admissions in any language when you call. Families Applying to 3-K for More than One Child If you are applying to 3-K for more than one child and want your children to attend the same program, you can apply for all children at the same time.
Need Care Now? Get Your 3-K Results Families that submit an application by the deadline receive a 3-K results letter in the late spring. Accept Your Offer If your child gets a 3-K offer, secure your child's seat by accepting your 3-K offer by the deadline provided in your offer letter.
The program will work with you to register your child. Be sure to accept your offer even if you are hoping for a waitlist offer from another program. Waitlists A 3-K program has a waitlist when there are more students that apply to it than 3-K seats available. If we are unable to make your child an offer, they will be placed automatically on the waitlist of each program you listed on their application.
If your child receives an offer to a program that was not your first choice, they will be automatically placed on the waitlist for any program s that you listed higher on your 3-K application than their offer program. If your child receives an offer to your first-choice program, they will not be placed on any waitlists. ESY services are different from general education summer school.
