Preschool
Find a preschool
These are CPS elementary schools that run a pre-K program. Community-based centers are not in Homeroom yet - for those, use the official CPS site search.
Full-day seats for 3-year-olds are the hardest to find
Homeroom's CPS import only tells us whether a school runs a pre-K program at all, not whether its 3-year-old classroom is half or full day. Until that data exists we check with each site, and families who already have a 3-year-old enrolled can tell us.
