Our is in March and luckily DS1 is already "in" for Prek4. They drastically cut the PreK3 program and had DD not attended school at the same school. We probably wouldn't have got a slot.
Ks deposit is due Jan 18th. I held her spot back in September. We use a really popular preschool and I missed out on getting her into Mom's morning out because I mistakenly thought that July was early enough. :-(

In NYC the application (yes, I said application) deadline is Oct 15. You then have parent and child interviews and find out if your child was accepted on March 1. January doesn't sound bad at all lol!
PreK registration for my younger DD starts Feb 8th or sometime that week (the open house is the 8th which is when the applications are ready) and for my older DD, we have to have the application for full day kindergarten and open enrollment since we are out of district turned in by Jan 16th - we actually mailed ours in right after the information night back in early Nov. They start the lottery for the full day spots in a few weeks and I will know if she gets full day or not in early to mid Feb.

Ours is too. I was surprised when I got the email, even though we went through this before. It always seems so early!
