Thank you for your interest in Chickpeas. Below is important information about our application process.
OPEN HOUSES
Due to COVID-19, this year's Open Houses will be held virtually on Zoom. We strongly encourage families to attend one of our Open Houses to learn about our program and hear from our amazing teachers and current families about what makes Chickpeas a great place for your child.
Zoom meeting details will be sent to all registered families prior to each open house.

PRE-K FOR ALL
All children turning 4 years old in 2021 are eligible to apply for our Pre-K For All program through a grant from the NYC Department of Education (NYCDOE). Families interested in Pre-K for All must apply through the NYC DOE MySchools website. Application deadlines for Pre-K For All are set by the NYCDOE. Please check their website for updates.
We ask that Pre-K For All families also complete the Chickpeas application to give us a better sense of who they are and why they want to attend a cooperative preschool. There is no application fee for families applying for Pre-K For All.
