Booker T. Washington Preschool
ADMISSIONS PROCESS
ADMISSIONS PROCESS
Thank you for considering our school! We understand that choosing and applying to preschool in New York City can be a daunting process. Your child will spend a significant period of time and have his/her life shaped by the experience. We at BTW have created a simple process that is less stressful and gives parents confidence in their decision. It also helps to build relationships between staff, the child and the family throughout the process. We try to make decisions quickly to relieve parents of anxiety and get children started as early as possible.
STEP ONE
STEP ONE
While most children begin preschool in September, we have a rolling admission policy, where we accept applications year-round. Parent(s) should fill out application and return it with their child's most recent physical examination form.
Pay $40.00 application fee. Siblings often receive preference but it is not guaranteed that we can always admit a sibling. We also welcome families who will need financial assistance.

Make appointment to bring your child in for a playgroup so we can determine if your child would benefit from our program. Parent(s) will meet with Director during the time of the playgroup, tour our school, discuss expectations and ask any questions they might have.

Our Admissions team will decide and inform families of their decision and financial responsibility. They will also collect any outstanding forms and answer any pending questions. Sometimes admission will be delayed based on availability.
If any child is not accepted, parents are welcomed to re-apply at a later date if they want to be reconsidered.
