[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought PS-3 is available at only a few schools. Our IB school doesn't offer a PS-3 class, so how can that be considered universal? It's not available to us.[/quote] It's available at the majority of elementary schools in the city -- the schools in Ward 3 are an exception. If you want to take advantage of PS-3 but are IB for a school that doesn't offer it, you can enroll in the lottery and try to secure a spot at an OOB school that offers it -- and then switch your kid IB for PK-4 or K. PS-3 was first introduced as Head Start, in schools serving lower-income students, which is why there are no PS-3 programs in Ward 3. I believe it's called "universal" b/c it's no longer means-tested. I'm not sure there are actually enough spots available for every child in the city, but I know at the end of each lottery there are open PS-3 spots available at several schools.[/quote]
