The Quincy Public Schools Integrated Pre-Kindergarten Programs serve 3- and 4-year old children with special needs and their typically developing peers. Pre-Kindergarten classes are held at Snug Harbor, Point Webster, and the Della Chiesa Early Childhood Center. Children must be 3 years old on or before August 31, 2022 to be considered for the 2022-2023 school year. There are a limited number of Pre-Kindergarten seats available and Quincy Public Schools is not able to accommodate all students interested in the program.
Special Education Screening - Consistent with the Special Education Act, Quincy Public Schools conducts a screening for three- and four-year old children in order to identify those who have special needs. Please call the Snug Harbor Pre-School at 617-984-8951 to request a Special Education screening appointment.
There are two different Integrated Pre-Kindergarten programs offered:
- four half-day sessions held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays OR
- two half-day sessions held on Mondays/Thursdays or Tuesdays/Fridays.
Priority for placement in the Integrated Pre-Kindergarten program is given to 4-year olds, followed by children who are 3 1/2 or older.
Transportation is not provided for Integrated Pre-Kindergarten program students.
Please follow this link to provide information for your student for the Pre-Kindergarten program: https://fs30.formsite.com/lauraowens/form71/index.html
Screenings will be scheduled for Spring 2022 based on the age priorities above and the number of Pre-Kindergarten seats available for typically developing students. If your student is selected, you will receive a call to schedule a screening appointment. If you do not receive a call, you will remain on the waiting list in case there is an opening in the program later in the school year.
