APS Schools with NM Pre-K & 25/26 Open Spots

The following APS elementary schools, high schools, and charter schools provide NM Pre-K programs. We have now several new classrooms opening up that are 3-year-old and 4-year-old programs.

Albuquerque Public Schools Pre-K is a voluntary program for three & four-year-olds.

Students must be three or four years of age by August 31st to be eligible for Preschool. 

Early childhood has several classrooms that accept 3 year old children at SOME programs.

Just a reminder: if your child is a 3-year-old, they will repeat Preschool for a second year. However in their second year they will have priority. This mean parents will be able to choose where their child will attend for their last year of Preschool. You'll do this toward the end of the school year, fill out our letter of intent to return and complete registration for the next school year in a timely manner.

Early childhood Preschool has to align with the age restrictions of APS Kindergarten. Children have to turn 5 by August 31st to get into Kindergarten. However, your child will be able to repeat Pre-K at their same program or another one.

To enroll your child, you will need to register on ParentVUE.
