Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES has started accepting applications for prekindergarten programs located at multiple Herkimer County school districts for the 2024-25 school year, including the Owen D. Young School District. You must be a resident of the district in order to enroll your student in the pre-K program at ODY.

The pre-K program provides opportunities for positive intellectual, social, emotional and physical development for children who are three and four years of age, with the targeted outcome being a successful transition to kindergarten.

The program is free to families. Eligibility factors including income and family circumstances are considered for some programs. 

To receive an application or ask questions, contact the Herkimer BOCES pre-K office at 315-867-2098 or send an email to lhaggerty@herkimer-boces.org

There will also be a 2024 Summer Pre-K program available at the Little Falls secondary school from July 10 to Aug. 14 (tentative dates) for ages 3-5.
