what does this mean?

Just FYI, the charter school that my daughter attends is open to new PS3 students. Because the school is newer and not as well known, they have fewer applicants and the odds of your getting in are good.

The school is Shining Stars Montessori Academy - it is almost brand-new (2 yrs old), and because they are a Montessori they only accept 2 & 3 yr olds. They also have a late cut-off, so if you have a kid with an Oct-Dec birthday, you aren't shut out.

My daughter LOVES the school and the aftercare. Her dad and I also like it - it has issues that any new school would regarding smoothing out communication wrinkles and getting a good space. The classrooms are bright, colorful, and fun. The parents and teachers are committed and active. And the whole school (including aftercare) has a great social justice vibe.

I think it means the PP is suggesting that the OP should add Shining Stars to her list of charter applications while she still has a chance. I think she's also telling people in general that if you've got a child who falls into the pocket of "2 on September 30th cut-off, but turning 3 before the end of the calendar year" that Shining Stars has a late cut-off, and their 2 y.o. can get in.

Unless by "what does this mean?" you were referring to the "great social justice vibe" in which case I have no clue.
