About our department

We offer two prekindergarten programs in the City School District of Albany: pre-K for 3-year-olds (pre-K 3) and pre-K for 4-year-olds (pre-K 4).

A child must be 3 by Dec. 1 of the following school year in order to qualify for a pre-K 3 program.  A child must be 4 by Dec. 1 of the following school year to qualify for a pre-K 4 program.

Both programs are enrolled by a lottery, which are held at two separate times.
