Registration is open now for North Bergen’s new free full-day pre-K 3 and pre-K 4 programs. Registration must be done in-person between 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday at the North Bergen Pre-K Center, 8701 Boulevard East within Braddock Park. Slots are limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

The North Bergen school district is offering pre-K classes for the first time starting in September 2025 as part of its School Realignment Plan. Pre-K 4 will be open to ALL North Bergen students who turn four years old on or before Oct. 1, and classes will be held in neighborhood elementary schools.

 

The district will also offer free pre-K 3 on a limited basis, with 60 slots available to students from families who fall below federal poverty guidelines. Pre-K 3 classes will be held at a local Head Start school location that meets state licensing standards and is contracting with the North Bergen school district.
