The Mahopac Central School District is happy to announce that Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) will be offered for the 2024-2025 school year. UPK will provide free full-day pre-kindergarten to 156 children selected through a lottery. Eligible children are those who will be eligible for kindergarten in the 2025-2026 school year. We are able to provide this free UPK program through State Aid that can only be used for this purpose which results in no cost to taxpayers.

UPK Open House Information 2024-2025

• Healthy Kids : October 1st from 4 - 5 p.m.

• YMCA: October 1st from 7 - 8 p.m.

• Country Knolls: October 7th from 7 - 8 p.m.

UPK Information

The programs will be housed at the Mahopac Falls School on 100 Myrtle Avenue.

This  program will run Monday - Friday from September 2024 - June 2025.  Families will need to provide lunch and transportation daily. Students will be assigned based on the number of seats available at each location.

Children are eligible for the 2025-2026 UPK program if their parent/guardian resides in the Mahopac  CSD and he/she will turn 4 years of age on or before December 1, 2025.

Due to the limited number of available Universal Pre-Kindergarten seats, the District will conduct a random lottery to select students for the program. Parents interested in having their child considered for UPK must complete a form which will be available in December 2024.
