Cinnaminson Adds PreK Classes, Implements Lottery System For Enrollment

CINNAMINSON, NJ — The Cinnaminson School District will expand its preschool enrollment and add a lottery process for interested families.

In February, Cinnaminson will open two more preschool classrooms. The classes are tuition-free and funded by state preschool-expansion aid.

"The Cinnaminson Board of Education is steadfast in its commitment to preschool access," district leadership said Wednesday in a letter to families. "The latest round of funding will help us get closer to our goal of reaching 430 students and reducing the wait list. This spring, we are hopeful to announce the opening of even more classes for the 2025-2026 school year."

The new classes are set to begin Feb. 3. To be eligible for the preschool lottery, students must live in Cinnaminson and be 3 or 4 years old by Oct. 1, 2024.

Interested families can complete an online form no later than Dec. 11 to be considered. The lottery drawing will be held Dec. 18, and families will be notified through either phone call or email.

Families who aren't selected will be placed on a waitlist for consideration if there's a vacancy before or during the program.

Questions regarding preschool can be directed to Sherry Spier, supervisor of early childhood education, at spiers@cinnaminson.com or 856-829-7600 ext. 2850.
