Dear Parents/Guardians,

Universal Prekindergarten (UPK) and Statewide Full-Day Prekindergarten are special early childhood programs established by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) and contracted by School Districts to provide an early learning experience for the children of eligible families. Eligible families are those who live in a contracted School District and have children who will be four years old by December 1, 2022 (your child must have been born between December 1, 2017, and December 1, 2018). Universal Prekindergarten and Statewide Full-Day Prekindergarten are now accepting applications for the 2022-2023 school year (pending funding approval in the NYS budget).  There is a qualified teacher and teaching assistant in every class.  Universal Pre Kindergarten students attend for five (5) half days for 2½ hours each day; the children in Statewide Full-Day Prekindergarten attend five (5) days a week for 5 hours each day for 180 days per school year, at no cost to you.

STATEMENT OF METHOD FOR SELECTION OF CHILDREN:

North Rockland Central School District reviews copies of the original completed applications to verify eligibility. The District holds a lottery if submitted applications are more than the number of slots funded by NYSED for the UPK and Statewide Full-Day Prekindergarten program.  Children considered for the lottery must have a complete application on file with proof of age eligibility and residency.   Once you complete the application, the District will send you a form where you will be able to choose up to three childcare sites from around the county in priority order.  The District will place children according to parent choice, if possible.  Parents of selected students must participate in an in-person or virtual interview and complete the registration process.  Parents/Guardians will be notified of their child’s placement status by mail once slots are filled. Notifications will be sent by the end of May 2022. 

For further information or assistance with this application, please call Eileen Greene at (845) 942-3049
