Garden City School District Details University Pre-Kindergarten Program

GARDEN CITY, NY — The Garden City School District anticipates providing university pre-kindergarten for students from Sep. 2026 to June 2027.

To be eligible, a child must be four years old on or before Dec. 1, 2026, and a Garden City School District resident.

A lottery will be held for the program, and there is no cost to participate.

The program will run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Buses will not be available for this program, so families will be responsible for their own transportation.

The location of the program will be determined by the availability of space and funding.

Interested families can enter the lottery by completing the application online, but this does not guarantee a child's place in the program.

The application will be open on Jan. 26 and close on Jan. 30.

Questions can be directed to the Garden City Public Schools Office of Curriculum and Instruction at 516-478-1030 or the registrar at 516-478-1067.
