The deadline is approaching for adults to enroll children in universal pre-kindergarten classes in the East Ramapo Central School District.
Children must be registered by April 15 in order to get one of the almost 1,800 free spots. The classes are held five days a week for 2½ hours each day.
Tiny Scholars World in New Hempstead is one of 56 participating schools. At the school, children color, play educational games, forge friendships and more.
"Come into our office, get an application and put your child on the path to a good education," says Arnie Warmbrand, who works as a pre-K coordinator.
