Universal Pre-Kindergarten

Vestal Central School District offers a full day (9:00am-2:30pm) free pre-kindergarten program, contingent upon grant funding from New York State, at four third-party sites. Transportation is not provided.

When enrollment exceeds the number of seats funded by New York State, a lottery is held for residents of children eligible in the Vestal Central School District. However, any children living in temporary housing in the District who will be four years old by December 1 of the year enrollment is anticipated will be given a seat in this program.
