Pre-Kindergarten
Pre K does NOT have zones. Enrollment is completely different from public school Kindergarten. Pre K has a combination of Department of Education and privately run providers such as 82nd Street Academic or Garden School.
Some of our local zoned public schools have preK seats, but due to the massive overcrowding of Jackson Heights' schools, the city contracts out most preK seats.
Long Term Problem
It's said that with the introduction of full day pre-K and now 3-K, we need 3 more schools in Jackson Heights to fit all the 3 and 4 year olds. Most often the city just hires private contractors to fill the gap.
A solution to this problem will require engagement and support from city and state representative.
