6,000 Pre-K Slots Still Available

According to an email from City Council Speaker Quinn --

"Currently, there are about 6,000
half-day and full-day UPK seats available for children who turn four years of
age by December 31, 2008, in public schools, child care centers contracted by
ACS, and community-based organizations contracted by the
DOE.  Research clearly supports UPK as a way to cultivate the social,
emotional and academic skills of children, as well as prepare children for
kindergarten.

 

 

Families can call 311 and ask for
"UPK programs in my neighborhood"; call toll free (888) 469-5999; or log on to the City's website
at www.nyc.gov to search the City Map
for UPK programs and/or link to the DOE's website, where a list of programs can
be downloaded.
