Proof of residency must be provided when submitting the application. Therefore, parents need to bring a copy of their child’s birth certificate and Public Service Gas and Electric bill or driver’s license. Please make sure that copies are supplied, not originals. We will keep these copies on file. Applications will not be accepted without these copies.

Classes for the four year old children meet three times per week, morning or afternoon, for two hours per day. Children attending the Young Children’s Program must be fully toilet trained.

The registration fee for the program is __$100__ per child. The registration fee is non-refundable. The class fee for the three year old program is __$80_ per month. The class fee for the four year old program is _$100_ per month. Approximately two weeks after the registration period, you will be notified of your child’s acceptance into the program. At that time you will be notified of the days when the registration payment may be made at City Hall.

If you are interested in enrolling your child please come to the Bayonne Public Library (31st Street Entrance, Room C & D) to fill out an application. The registration process is not a first come first serve placement. If at the end of the registration week, the capacities for the classes are exceeded, a lottery will be held to determine the new students who will attend.

The children currently enrolled in the program have been given the opportunity to enroll at an earlier time.
