READY
2024-2025
3 and 4 Year Old Applicants
Cranford Public Schools currently has openings in our inclusive half-day preschool Program called READY. The READY program is a regular education preschool program that places children with special needs with their typical peers. The philosophy is based on the rationale that children learn through modeling and imitation and are motivated by other children. By integrating students with disabilities into typical preschool classes, maximum growth and development is achieved for all children.
Children who will be 3 years old or 4 years old on or before October 1, 2024, and are Cranford residents, are eligible for READY. Special education students are included in the preschool program as determined by the Child Study Team.

If you are registering multiple children, we cannot guarantee all children will be selected. The tuition charge for this program is $5160.00 or $516.00 per month. First and last months tuition of $1032.00 is due upon acceptance into the program and is non refundable. Cranford does NOT provide transportation to students in this program. For additional information, or if you have any questions, you may call The Office of Special Services at (908) 709-6217.
Please note that students who enroll in the READY program are still required to complete a new student registration, unless they are currently enrolled in the READY or SNAPPY preschool program.
