ZERO TUITION!

​

Beginning with the 2022-23 school year, Chickpeas will offer free full day 3-K and Pre-K, through a contract with the NYC Department of Education. The DOE age cut off for eligibility is December 31st. This means your child may start 3K in September at 2 years old, as long as they are turning 3 by December 31st. For PreK, they may start at 3, but must be turning 4 by December. All 3-K and Pre-K students must attend school 5 days per week. Chickpeas charges no tuition or fees for 3-K and Pre-K students during the DOE-funded school day, but additional fees apply for our Early Bird, After School and non-DOE day care. 

​

The DOE school day runs from 9 am - 3:20 pm.

​

EARLY BIRD CARE

 

To better serve our families, chickpeas offers Early Bird care before the scheduled DOE day begins. Early Bird care is offered from 8-8:45am, Monday through Friday. The 2022-2023 rate is $8/day*. Families can sign up for three, four, or five days week. There are three registration periods each year. More registration information will be provided with enrollment to Chickpeas. 

​

AFTER-SCHOOL

​

Chickpeas also offers After School care after the DOE scheduled day ends at 3:20. After School is offered from 3:30-6:00pm, Monday through Friday. The 2022-2023 is $20/day*. Like Early Bird care, families can sign up for three, four, or five days week and there are three registration periods each year. More registration information will be provided with enrollment to Chickpeas.
