Preschool Expansion Program

Preschool Expansion Program

2022-2023 Enrolling Soon

 

The Hopatcong School District is pleased to announce that for the 2022-2023 school year, we will begin our first full school year of  FREE full-day, high quality preschool program to 3 and 4 year old Hopatcong residents. 

Program Information

  • All Hopatcong children participating in one of these programs will have access to a high-quality preschool program that will prepare them to enter Kindergarten.
  • The full-day preschool program runs from September-June and takes place Monday through Friday.  Calendar days may vary slightly between programs.  Each school day is 6 hours long although hours also might vary slightly from program to program.
  • Tuition based extended day care and summer programs are available at First Impressions Childcare and Morris County Educare.  Please contact these programs for additional information.

We are excited to continue our partnership with First Impressions Childcare, Head Start and Morris County EduCare. Families who meet the income eligibility criteria for Head Start, will continue to benefit from the support and services provided from NORWESCAP Head Start.

  • If your child was enrolled in one of these programs for the 2021-2022 school  (First Impressions, Head Start or Morris County EduCare) and they continue to be age eligible for preschool for the 2022-2023 school year, they will be able to continue in the same program and you do not need to do anything at this time. 
  • If your child is enrolled in one of these programs for the 2021-2022 school year and is eligible for kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year, re-registration is not required.
  • If you have moved out of the district, or your plans have changed and you wish to relinquish your spot in the program for the 2022-2023 school year, please send written notification through email to nventresca@hopatcongschools.org.
