Apply For Public School Kindergarten Parents can still apply for the children to attend public school Kindergarten. Currently, schools are accepting applications on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis. Interested parents should apply at every school they are interested in their child attending (including zoned school). Proof of the child’s age (birth certificate or passport) and proof of NYC residency (i.e. utility bill, current property tax bill for the residence) are needed to apply. For a full listing of acceptable documentation, school location and additional information, please visit the Department of Education’s website at: http://schools.nyc.gov/ChoicesEnrollment/Elementary/default.htm After school services will be available through the Department of Youth and Community Development’s “Out-Of-School-Time” programs. Fall registration is anticipated for June/July. Information about the OST Programs can be found at DYCD’s website at: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dycd/html/afterschool/programs.shtml | | |

Child Care Strategic Plan | |||

Community Needs Analysis Children’s Services conducted a community needs analysis to examine the availability of public and private early care and education (ECE) services for all young children (ages 0-5 years) and families in New York City, but especially for children eligible for ACS’ subsidized services. This Summary Report, “Charting the Course for Child Care and Head Start: Community Needs Analysis of Early Care and Education in New York City,” highlights the main findings related to the provision of ECE services across the City, the boroughs, and individual neighborhoods. Additionally, the report explains the Division of Child Care and Head Start’s next steps in achieving the direction envisioned in the Strategic Plan, Rethinking Child Care. With information about community need, Children’s Services can better strengthen and align services to meet the developmental needs of young children and community stakeholders can use the findings in their own planning for ECE services. The Full Report will be available in July.
