Parents can begin submitting applications for their child to enroll in 3-K or pre-K for the 2025–26 school year on January 15. Families who have signed up for the admissions mailing list or have created a MySchools account will be notified once the application is open via an email from [email protected]. Beginning January 15, you or your designee are encouraged to share the following information with families:
Families can apply online on MySchools.nyc, over the phone by calling (718) 935-2009, and in-person at a Family Welcome Center.
Families must submit their applications for 3-K and pre-K by February 28.
Families can attend upcoming elementary admissions virtual events to learn more about the 3-K and pre-K admissions process; interpretation services are available at the events. Details about the events can be found on the Elementary Admissions Events, and you may share this flyer (available in all DOE languages) with families.
Note that once an application is completed, 3-K and pre-K providers/schools can begin verifying applicant admissions priorities on MySchools; verification must be completed by March 7.
