Signing up kids for Pre-K
August 13th, 2010New Haven, Conn. (WTNH) – You have to register your kids for Kindergarten. You don’t have to but you can register your kids for pre-Kindergarten, and the experts say you should. That’s why folks from the New Haven school system will be going around the city this week encouraging people to sign their kids up.
Pre-K is open to children ages 3 to 5. To sign your kid up, you need his or her birth certificate, proof of income, because some programs are specific to low-income families, and a utility bill to prove you live in New Haven.
School officials are going to be signing kids up all over the city in a big yellow school bus this week. The first stop is today at the Hill Health Center on Columbus Avenue, from 10 a.m. to Noon.
Other stops this week include:
Monday, August 16th
- East Shore -826 Woodward Ave. (Police Sub-Station ) – 1:00p.m. – 3:00p.m.
Tuesday, August 17th
- Columbus School/(Police Sub- station)295 Blatchley Av. – 10a.m. – 12 noon
- Winchester Av. & Hazel St.
