Prekindergarten registration for the 2008-09 school year
begins May 28, 2008.
The beginning of an educational journey, prekindergarten is an
exciting time for families and students when children are encouraged
to develop an interest in and joy for learning. Our pre-K programs
are based on activities that nurture this enthusiasm in a safe and
care environment.
The City School District of Albany currently
offers 21 prekindergarten programs in 11 elementary schools as well as
additional programs at six off-site locations. The proposed 2008-09
budget that will be considered by district voters May 20 includes plans
for three additional programs beginning in September 2008 and two more
in January 2009.
A child
must be 4 years old on or before December 1, 2008, to be eligible for
pre-K.
All students must be
registered at the Central Registration Office, located in the Sunshine
Building in Lincoln Park at the corner of Delaware and Morton avenues.
The office is open 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 462-7207
for more information.
In order to
