Please note: If your child attends any Pre-K 3 program across the county, they are not guaranteed a spot in the EPK/UPK programs offered by Liverpool Central School District, or Cicero-North Syracuse Central School District.
Clarification from the district website: To ensure all families have an equal opportunity for the EPK/UPK program, there will be a lottery drawing for acceptance. Enrollment in the EPK/UPK program is NOT on a first-come, first-served basis. If the UPK program fills up before all names are pulled from the lottery, the remaining students will be placed on a waitlist and parents will be notified if a spot becomes available.

We currently are in Open Enrollment for our 2024-2025 Pre-K 3 Program. Please contact our Director at ecc@nmpres.org for more information on the program.
