How many pre-kindergarten seats are available for 3- and 4-year-old students?
The district is expanding the number of “K1” classrooms for students who will be four years old by September 1. By September 2008, the district will offer more than 2,400 K1 seats for four-year-olds. Although the BPS guarantees a full-day kindergarten seat for every 5-year-old, there is no guarantee for 4-year-olds. Seats for 3-year-old students in “K0” classrooms also are limited, and not every child who applies in the first round will receive an assignment.
