FAQ - Regarding the preschool enrollment / requirement process

Is there a cost for my child to attend the preschool program?

Yes, your child must be age 3 by October 1st, and they can not be 5 on or before October 1st of the school year.

If one of my children is already enrolled and I have another child of qualifying preschool age does my other child receive any preferential admission or will they be automatically enrolled?

No, each child receives their own lottery number and must be enrolled in the lottery in order to gain access to the program.

If one twin gets into the lottery is the other twin automatically enrolled?
