New York City is simplifying its pre-kindergarten enrollment process by providing one application form for PUBLIC schools and community-based organizations such as yeshivos, Chancellor Carmen Farina announced Thursday.
Some 53,000 children are enrolled in full-day pre-K this year. Mayor Bill de Blasio has promised to expand the program to serve 73,000 children next fall. The application process starts March 16 and the deadline is April 24.
