Applications are now open for free, full-day, high-quality pre-K starting this fall. And for the first time ever, there’s a seat waiting for every four-year-old in New York City who wants one.

Apply now: nyc.gov/prek

Each child enrolled in pre-K means one more kid in our city who gets a stronger start on his or her education and one more family that can put itself on a stronger financial footing, thanks to less time and money spent on childcare.

Are you a parent or guardian of a child born in 2011?

Yes — and I’d like to apply for pre-k for my child this fall.

No. I’m a parent/guardian, but not of a child born in 2011.

No. I’m not a parent, but I’m interested in the City’s education policies.
