Pre-K and TK

BCSD seeks agencies to apply for UPK program


The Binghamton City School District intends to implement a Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program for district students who are four years of age by December 1. We estimate this will be about 200 students. The school district seeks an educationally based UPK program that will meet the Uniform Quality Standards of Section 151-1.3 regulation as amended by the New York State Board of Regents. The Binghamton City School District is responsible for fiscal and program oversight and student progress in all settings. To find out more about the Request for Proposal click here.

Pre-Kindergarten

The Binghamton City School District Pre-Kindergarten program is FREE and open to all children who are 4 by December 1 (or 3 years old for some locations) and live in the City of Binghamton. Classes are held Monday through Friday, September through June, following the school district calendar. The district does not provide transportation.

Transitional Kindergarten
There are some openings available for Transitional Kindergarten. Children must be five years old by Dec. 1. For information please contact Scout Orr at 762-8100 ext. 308.
