In order to be eligible for UPK, children must turn 4 by 12/1/26 and live in Merrick, Bellmore, Wantagh, Freeport, Seaford, East Meadow or Massapequa.

Due to limited space, UPK extended care is limited for the 2026-2027 school year.   Current JELC students will be given priority. While we would like to accommodate all of our families, we cannot guarantee extended care for all.  Thank you for your understanding.

Information for the 2026-2027 UPK Registration will be available shortly.
