Manchester Preschool Expansion Application Approved

MANCHESTER, NJ — The Manchester Township School District will be expanding its preschool after the New Jersey Department of Education approved its application for a Preschool Expansion Grant.

The preschool program will be open to all Manchester Township families with 3- and 4-year-olds.

"We will prepare information for the community in the coming weeks, including an in-person Parent Information Session," Superintendent John Berenato said. "As intended, our program will need to begin on October 3, 2022. While this news is very exciting and a huge gain for our community, there is a lot of work to be done before our classrooms will be ready for our youngest learners."

Berenato said the district is working with the education department to implement the program "with fidelity, efficiency, and integrity," he said.

Information about registering your child will be coming, Berenato said.

"Our Administrative Team will continue to update everyone as more information becomes available. We are committed to being transparent with all information about our preschool program," he said. "On behalf of the entire Manchester Township School District, I thank you again for your support and encouragement during this process. Our hard work has paid off and will offer beneficial programming to our 3- and 4-year-olds."
