Whether you are a new family or a current family, we are honored that you have chosen us to be one of the first stepping stones in your child’s educational journey and for trusting us with your child.

APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR

Follow the steps below to make the enrollment process smooth and efficient:

STEP 1: In order to be officially accepted by our program, all families must submit an application for enrollment online at www.myschools.nyc. After submitting your application, you will receive an official offer letter. You must accept the offer by the due date or the H.E.S. cannot guarantee a seat will be reserved for your child.

Returning families must submit an application for enrollment online at www.myschools.nyc every school year.

Step 2: Once you receive your NYC official letter, complete your H.E.S. Early Childhood Registration here for UPK and here for Early Learn 3K.

If you are a family that has an active ACS or HRA voucher and was offered a seat, please contact us directly as the information needed to process your application will require more documentation.

** H.E.S. registration for School Year 2023-2024 is not open yet. It will open soon. **

If you register past the deadline, your child will be placed on a waiting list. You will receive a call from the H.E.S. Early Childhood staff if space is available, but there are no guarantees.
