Students who turn three years old before September 1, 2027 are eligible for the Greenwich Public Schools integrated preschool program.
The program accepts applications for typically developing students who are admitted via lottery system to participate in the program alongside students who have special education needs. Tuition for the program has not been finalized yet, but according to application information posted online, the cost of the program is expected to increase 4% over the current school year’s rate of $10,924.
The registration window closes at 5pm on November 30. The lottery will be drawn on December 1. Those who are not selected will be placed on a waitlist.
Priority is given to certain applicants, including families who already have a student enrolled in the preschool program as well as those who live in the Hamilton Avenue,
New Lebanon and Julian Curtiss attendance areas.
Not every Greenwich Public Schools elementary school house preschool classrooms.
Currently, the program is operating at Cos Cob School, Julian Curtiss School, Hamilton Avenue School, New Lebanon School, North Street School, Old Greenwich School and Parkway School.
