Kindergarten Admissions
In New York City, children enter kindergarten in the fall of the calendar year they turn five, and are guaranteed a kindergarten seat at a public school. Once your child starts kindergarten, they can remain at the same school until its final elementary grade.
If your child was born in 2018 and lives in New York City, they are eligible to attend Kindergarten for September 2023. Please visit the NYC DOE kindergarten enrollment page.
Please reach out to esenrollment@schools.nyc.gov with questions.
