Horseheads Elementary Schools
Welcome to Pre - Kindergarten

 

 

The Pre-Kindergarten program in the Horseheads Central School District is based on a developmental approach to learning. It is center-based and promotes the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth of each child. We work to promote school readiness, independence, self-esteem, and self-confidence. We have full-day pre-kindergarten classes in our four elementary schools.

The Pre-K program is funded in part by a special grant from New York State. To be eligible, a student must turn four on or before December 1, and the student's primary residence must be in the district. There are a limited number of spots available. Registration is held in the spring prior to the start of the school year.

New York State's Office of Early Learning has guidances to assist families with Pre-K eligibility. To view the FAQs document, click here. If you have questions about Pre-K at Horseheads Central School District, please contact Karen McLain at 607-739-5601, x4251 or kmclain@horseheadsdistrict.com.

The district will enter information on any child in your family, from age 1 to 4, as long as you live in the district. Please click here to complete the Pre-K registration form.
