Families of young children, we have an important message for you:
“We know it’s only spring, but a lot of planning has to happen to ensure we are prepared to welcome our youngest learners when they start school in the fall,” said Director of Enrollment Services and Transportation Services Rebecca Lamb. “So we are encouraging families to enroll their children now if they will be starting PreK or kindergarten in the fall.”
Families who speak English or Spanish can enroll online or schedule an in-person appointment at the district’s Enrollment Office at 57 Suffolk Street. Families who speak other languages should send the enrollment team an email or call (413) 534-2000, option 1, to schedule an appointment with interpretation services.
Who is eligible to enroll?
PreK: Children must be Holyoke residents and at least 3 years old on September 1, 2025. Children who turn 3 after September 1 may apply for preschool admission after their 3rd birthday. In order to qualify for a full-day program, children must have turned 4 years old on or before September 1, 2025.
