Pre-Kindergarten Program Launch for 2025–2026
We are pleased to announce the continued offering of the Pre-Kindergarten program at Douglas Grafflin Elementary School for the 2025–2026 school year. This no-cost, grant-funded initiative is made possible through our partnership with Healthy Kids, a trusted community-based organization that operates under the purview of the Chappaqua Central School District. The program is designed to meet the District’s high standards for safety, nurturing care, and educational excellence.
The program will serve 36 District children, divided into two sections of 18 students. Each classroom will be led by a certified teacher and supported by a teaching assistant. The program day will run from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and follow the CCSD school calendar. Families are responsible for transportation, lunch, and snacks.
Before- and after-care services will be available through Healthy Kids, operating from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The cost of these extended care services will be the responsibility of the family.
To be eligible, children must be 4 years old before January 1, 2026, not eligible for kindergarten, and be residents of the Chappaqua Central School District. Students who are selected in the lottery will also be required to complete our online student registration process.
