Schools near me for 4 year olds: Preschool Programs for Ages 3

How to Register Your 4-Year-Old for School in Boston

In the City of Boston, it’s never too early to think about school options for your child. Whether you’re interested in public, charter, or private school options, many schools accept students as young as 4 years old, and some even as young as 3 years old.

In Boston, these earliest learners have their own pre-K grades grouped by age: K0 for 3-year-olds and K1 for 4-year-olds. (K2 is the grade commonly associated with a traditional kindergarten grade for entering 5-year-old students).

Why You Should Register Your 3- or 4-Year-Old for School

This age group is also one of the largest entry points into Boston Public Schools, meaning there is a large number of 4-year-olds all trying to get seats into great-fit schools. Thus, it’s critical to register your 4-year-old for every school option available to your family.

Remember: you can register your child for any school seat they get in Boston, but that doesn’t mean you have to enroll your child at the school they received a seat. At Boston School Finder, we like to remind families that you can always turn down a seat you receive, but you can’t turn down a seat you don’t have.

In addition to K0 and K1 options via BPS, Boston has also made a commitment to offer UPK—Universal Pre-Kindergarten—seats for children who are 4 years old. While the number of UPK seats can be limited, the City announced in April 2019 it had committed $15 million to create an additional 750 high-quality UPK seats in Boston for 4-year-olds for the 2020-2021 school year. 

Seats in Boston’s UPK program are FREE to Boston families and serviced by Community Based Organizations (CBOs). Participating UPK programs align with existing BPS curriculum and standards for K1 seats at BPS schools; teachers at participating CBOs are also trained and certified in this curriculum. 

How to Register Your 4-Year-Old for School in Boston

Choosing a great-fit school for your child is one of the most important decisions you can make as a parent—and we believe it’s important families get their child into a great-fit school as early as they can. Read on for how to register and apply to all of the options available for 4-year-olds in Boston.

In Boston Public Schools

Currently, there are 78 BPS schools that offer K1 seats for students who will be 4 years old by Sep. 1, 2020. As there are a limited number of K0 and K1 seats available, we recommend every family with a 4-year-old register for a K1 BPS seat during their Priority Registration round.

For Grades K0 and K1, families must register by Friday, Jan. 31, 2020 to qualify for BPS Priority Registration. 

(Families can still register for K0 and K1 seats after the deadline, but it is highly unlikely there will be seats left if they do.)

At UPK Community-Based Organizations

There are a limited number of FREE seats for 4-year-olds throughout Boston as part of the UPK program. 

To enroll your child at a UPK-affiliated CBO for the 2020-2021 school year: 

1. Your child must be 4 years old by Sep. 1, 2020.
2. Complete this UPK Interest Form online. 
3. Contact Joelle Auguste, Boston UPK Family Engagement & Comprehensive Services Manager for Boston Public Schools, to discuss your available UPK options. Her email is [email protected] and her phone number is 617-635-9063.
4. To learn more about Boston’s UPK program, please visit the Boston Public Schools Department of Early Childhood website. 

At Commonwealth Charter Schools

Currently, there are 6 Commonwealth Charter schools that offer K1 seats for 4-year-olds. These are free, public schools that are not part of the Boston Public Schools district.

Placement at Commonwealth Charter schools is determined by lottery.

To apply for the Charter School Lottery, families must complete the Charter School Lottery Application online by Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020.

Most charter schools run their lotteries and post results on Friday, Mar. 6, 2020. (Please check our School Registration Enrollment Calendar for individual charter school lottery dates.)

At Private Religious-Affiliated Schools

There are at least 18 private religious schools that offer seats for 4-year-olds; many Catholic schools have seats for 3-year-old children and younger.

Also known as parochial schools, Boston has a number of private religious-affiliated schools, including a large number of Catholic schools. While private religious-affiliated schools cost money to attend, many of these schools offer financial aid and/or scholarships to students. Some Catholic schools are free or offer subsidized, income-dependent tuition.  

To register and enroll your 4-year-old at one of these schools, please contact individual schools directly. You can use our School Finder tool to get their contact information.

Prekindergarten | Garland Independent School District

Why Pre-K?

Pre-K programs offer many benefits. 90% of your child’s brain develops before they are five years old.  Our Pre-K program takes advantage of this important time to learn. We provide foundational education that helps prepare your child for kindergarten. Research has shown that kids who attend Pre-K are less likely to be held back a grade and more likely to graduate from high school.

About the program

Our Pre-K classes are taught by certified teachers who are trained in early childhood education and development. They have the knowledge and skills needed to teach your child at this very important age.

Your child will learn:

• to recognize colors, shapes, letters, and numbers

• important social skills like how to pay attention in class and interact with other children

• listening and speaking skills

• early reading skills like how to hold a book, turn the pages, and look at pictures

• basic math skills such as counting and measuring

Your child will also develop skills in science, social studies, fine arts and physical development for a balanced education.  The curriculum taught uses research and follows a state-mandated curriculum.

Which schools offer Pre-K classes?

We have two dedicated prekindergarten centers and 27 elementary schools that offer Pre-K classes in a full-day format. Some schools offer regular general education with ESL, some offer bilingual education, and some schools offer both.

We also have a Montessori magnet program at Luna ES and Herfurth ES that includes classes for Pre-K-aged children. Interested families may consider applying and paying to enroll. Specific timelines must be met to apply for magnet programs.

FAQs

Expand All

How are the Pre-K centers different?

The Pre-K centers were designed and built specifically for four-year-old children. These centers do not have students in any other grades. The library, gym, bathrooms and lockers are all specially sized for Pre-K children.

In addition, we have a partnership with the Child Care Group Head Start program at our Pre-K Centers with two GISD/Head Start classrooms, one GenEd/ESL and one Bilingual, each center.

What time are the classes?

Our full-day Pre-K program shares the same hours and calendar as our elementary schools, 8:10 a.m.-3:20 p.m.

Can you choose which Pre-K your child goes to?

You may select up to three Pre-K schools as your top choices. At the time of enrollment, a Student Services staff member or a campus data clerk will assist you in completing enrollment for the school with seat availability.

Is transportation provided?

Transportation is not provided. You are responsible for transporting your child to and from school. 

Many parents get help from family members or choose to coordinate drop-off and pick-up with their child’s daycare.

How does eligibility work?

Though we welcome all students to our Pre-K program, seats are limited. Students who meet priority placement eligibility get placed in seats first. Empty seats after priority placement will be distributed to non-priority placement students as available.

Pre-K locations for the 2022-23 school year

We will be offering full day Pre-K at the following schools.

A message from CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Dear CPS Families,

The pandemic has impacted every aspect of our school year, including the important process our students go through when choosing the school options that will best match their talents, interests, and abilities. So to ensure everyone has the time they need to make this important decision, we are extending the GoCPS application deadline from Friday, December 11, 2020 to Friday, January 8, 2021.

We hope that this added time will give students and families the opportunity they need to carefully consider the many school options that are available throughout the district. As a result of this extension, offers for the 2021-22 school year will come out slightly later than in years past, and we will provide an update with the exact date. In the meantime, we urge our students to look at all of their options, from their neighborhood schools to offerings in STEM, IB, world language, and selective-enrollment, among others, to determine which environment will best meet their needs.

Sincerely,

Janice K. Jackson, EdD LaTanya D. McDade

School of Speed ​​Reading IQ 007 is the organizer of the International Olympiad in Speed ​​Reading at the Skolkovo Information Center

Development of methodology and school

.

In addition, many students face problems not only due to shortcomings in schooling, but also due to internal causes: hyperactivity, speech, motor, breathing and many others. Therefore, to help the parents of schoolchildren, we opened the first Speed ​​Reading School IQ007 in Zlatoust in 2009.

Already in 2013, we launched a franchising system and developed a teacher training course. Now our team includes candidates of pedagogical, psychological, philosophical sciences and professional methodologists. Today, we have 850 teachers from Russia and the CIS in our staff. We combined all their experience of working with real children into a single knowledge base.

“School IQ007: How we taught everyone to read.”

A book about the history of the largest network of speed reading schools in Europe.

Read more about the book

The dizzying and at the same time absolutely natural success story of the IQ007 school began as a kind joke. After graduation, a lawyer and economist, natives of the Ural outback, did not find anything better than to try their hand at education. The speed reading courses they opened unexpectedly combined tips for personal growth and the secrets of millionaires. Then the plot starts to dance: rapid growth and ruin, entering foreign markets and retreat from plans, masterfully thought-out moves and mistakes of amateurs.

Speed ​​reading methods: what are the differences and how to choose the right one

The speed with which a person performs educational and work tasks directly depends on how fast a person reads. And that means current or future career success.

Speed ​​reading courses are useful and effective at any age. On average, a modern adult reads at a speed of 200-400 words per minute – and methods of teaching speed reading can at least double the rate.

Development of memory in children

Memory is the ability to store, analyze and reproduce information and experience. Thanks to the presence of memory, we can develop. It was the ability to remember that allowed man to evolve. The better a person remembers, the more effectively he learns, the higher his efficiency. Memory can improve and deteriorate depending on various external factors, and it can also be trained. What types of memory exist and how to develop memory in a child, we will understand in this article.

We take into account the peculiarities of attention and development

When developing programs, we focus on age characteristics. For example, in elementary grades, children learn to think logically. To help them, we build chains, compare objects and teach them to find non-standard solutions

We instill interest in learning

To do this, we use practical exercises where you can draw, glue
or play.

We form and consolidate a positive experience from learning – the child solves a problem and receives a reward instead of an assessment

We take into account the peculiarities of learning in each class

For example, we will teach fifth graders to cope with homework on their own in order to free their parents from the daily “joint learning”.

And we will help eighth graders with the choice of subjects to take
at the OGE next year

You will understand the material, not memorize it

In our classes there is no senseless rewriting from the textbook: teachers explain complex things in simple language until until you really get the point.

And everything you need to remember, we will help you put it in your head easily and quickly with the help of mnemonics ✌️

We guarantee admission

We help you decide on the direction of study at the university and prepare for final exams – without stress.

Designed the program so that you have more time to calmly prepare.

And for those who want to graduate from school faster, we offer to complete 10th and 11th grades in a year.

Checking the results of the exam

On the exam, you can lose points due to the subjectivity of the examiner. Sometimes these points are decisive.

If you were preparing for the USE in Foxford, our teachers and USE experts can double-check your work and explain where the points were deducted fairly, and where it is worth filing an appeal.

Individual educational route

We help to reveal your strengths

In addition to the basic program, you can choose an individual educational route and upgrade in a specific direction.

How does it work?

For example, you dream of becoming a doctor, you love experiments in chemistry, or you are interested in ecology. To unleash your potential and develop your strengths, choose a natural science educational route.
Now courses in this area are available to you: genetics, botany, anatomy, astronomy, zoology and others. You can choose five of them and get in-depth knowledge in the area you are interested in – and so on for each route.

Here’s what they say about us

Elizaveta Strizh

Why do I love Foxford?
The teachers are very positive. Always trying to make us understand the topic.
Almost every lesson contains theoretical material. It helps a lot.
Electronic textbooks. A big plus is that at any time, even from the phone, you can open and read something.
Homework. Making them is very interesting, even in algebra, geometry and physics that are difficult for me. While doing homework, as well as in the classroom, you learn a lot of new things.

Arkadiy Buiko

Learned about Foxford’s Home School and Externship. I was very attracted by the opportunity of family education, teachers of Moscow State University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Higher School of Economics and courses in preparation for Olympiads in the leading universities of the country. Mom suggested trying this way of learning. I always liked to study next to my parents, and then I also liked the format. In Foxford’s online class, you can feel free to ask the teacher for help, and pause while watching the recording. But the most interesting thing is that at Foxford Home School, I forgot about that computer game that began to take up a lot of time in my life. Now I have such busy days that sometimes 24 hours in a day are not enough.

Sofya Golova

What I like best about Foxford:
Don’t get up early!
No need to “work out” and ask classmates for notes if they missed something. I just pressed the button and reviewed the entry, pressed another and read the theoretical material.
The teachers are cheerful and speak clearly.
Nobody scolds for incorrect filling of notebooks. Write as you like, but if you want, just fill it out on the computer.

Varya Koroleva

My son finished his 5th grade at your school During my two years at Foxford, I made as many cool acquaintances as I didn’t get in nine years at school. And we communicate not only on the Internet. Guys from other cities from time to time come to the capital on business, we will definitely use this opportunity to spend a couple of days together. For example, in March I met a girl from Yekaterinburg, and in December I will see almost all my classmates at the essay.

But children also receive solid knowledge: the art school provides an academic classical education in drawing, painting, composition, sculpture, art history; children come out with a whole set of mastered artistic techniques and skills of independent creativity, sufficient to continue their studies at an art university.

In the summer, plein air students have artistic practice in parks, outside the city, and there are also longer trips. Registration opens in the spring on the public services portal mos.ru. Education on a budgetary basis, there are commercial places and additional paid services. Upon graduation, a certificate of education is issued.
