The Basics

The NYC kindergarten application process opens in October and closes in January. Parents can apply to up to 12 schools, and they will be notified of their child's placement in March. If your child is not accepted into any of your top choices, you can add them to waitlists and hope for a spot to open up.

There are two main types of NYC kindergarten programs: public and private. Public kindergartens are free to attend, while private kindergartens can cost upwards of $30,000 per year. Some private kindergartens offer scholarships, so it's worth applying even if you can't afford the full tuition.

The Application Process

The NYC kindergarten application is available online. You will need to provide information about your child, including their name, date of birth, and address. You will also need to provide information about your family, including your income and education level.

In addition to the online application, you will also need to submit the following documents:

  • A copy of your child's birth certificate
  • Proof of residency
  • A letter of recommendation from your child's current preschool teacher

Once you have submitted your application, you will be notified of your child's placement in March. If your child is not accepted into any of your top choices, you can add them to waitlists and hope for a spot to open up.

The Selection Process

The NYC kindergarten selection process is based on a number of factors, including:

  • The child's age
  • The child's address
  • The child's income level
  • The child's education level

Schools also consider the child's individual strengths and needs. For example, some schools may give preference to children who have siblings who already attend the school. Other schools may give preference to children who are English language learners or who have special needs.

Tips for Increasing Your Child's Chances

There are a number of things you can do to increase your child's chances of getting into their dream school. Here are a few tips:

  • Start the application process early.
  • Apply to a variety of schools.
  • Make sure your child's application is complete and accurate.
  • Get a letter of recommendation from a trusted source.
  • Prepare your child for the interview.

The Interview

If your child is invited to interview for a kindergarten spot, it's important to prepare them in advance. Here are a few tips:

  • Talk to your child about the interview process and what to expect.
  • Help your child practice answering common interview questions.
  • Dress your child professionally for the interview.
  • Arrive at the interview on time.

What to Do If Your Child Doesn't Get In

If your child is not accepted into any of your top choices, don't despair. There are still a number of options available to you.

  • You can add your child to waitlists and hope for a spot to open up.
  • You can look into private kindergarten programs.
  • You can homeschool your child.

No matter what you decide, remember that the most important thing is your child's education. With a little planning and effort, you can help your child get the best possible start on their academic journey.
