Applications are now being accepted for the Montgomery Township School District Preschool Program for children ages 3-5.  The program will run 5 half days per week; Monday through Friday.   Students will have the opportunity to grow and develop with peers in social skills, play skills, language skills, motor skills, and early academic skills.  Children must turn three on or before October 1, 2022, to enter the 3-year-old class and four on or before October 1, 2022, to enter the 4-year-old class.  Class sizes will be limited to 17 students per class. Children will be selected for participation in the program through a lottery system.

The preschool program will consist of the morning class (for 3-year-olds), which runs from 9:25-12:15, or the afternoon class (for 4-year-olds), which runs from 1:15-3:55.  The instructional staff in the classroom will include one certified teacher and at least one instructional aide.  

Students currently participating in the three-year-old class are offered priority placement in the four-year-old class for the 2022-2023 school year.  To be considered for priority placement, applications must be received by February 11, 2022.

Applications to be considered for the lottery will be accepted beginning February 11, 2022, through March 11, 2022.  Students eligible for priority placement will be offered placement first.  With the spots remaining, a lottery drawing will be held to determine student acceptance into the program. Families will be informed as to whether or not their child is offered a spot in the program on or about April 19, 2022. Applications received after March 11th, 2022, will be offered placement into the program on a first-come, first-served basis if openings in the classes remain.  All other applicants will be placed on a waiting list.
