ARE YOU READY FOR KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION?
Open enrollment for kindergarten registration for the 2025-2026 school year has begun. Residents with a child who will be five (5) years of age on or before September 1, 2025, are eligible to enroll. If your child is currently in our preschool program and headed to Kindergarten in the Fall, you do not need to fill out a registration packet. The required paperwork will be sent home with your child shortly.
Please contact Christina Aponte via email: caponte@belchertownps.org or 413-323-0423 Ext. 100 to request a registration packet.
Kindergarten Transition Timeline 2025-2026 School Year
PRESCHOOL 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR
The preschool at Cold Spring School is a tuition-free Integrated Early Childhood Program for 3 and 4-year-olds. It is a daily, half-day program. The morning 3-year-old session runs from 8:30 – 11:00 am; the afternoon 4-year-old session runs from 12:15 – 2:45 pm. Transportation to and from school must be provided by the parent/guardian. In order to be eligible for our program, your child must have been born on or before 9/1/2022, be fully toilet trained, and be a resident of Belchertown.
Completing this Notice of Interest Google Form by April 25, 2025, will serve as notice of your interest in enrolling your child as a peer model student in our preschool program for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. This form does not guarantee a slot in the program. If the number of interested peer model candidates exceeds our allotted number of spaces, a lottery will be held. You will be notified if your child has been assigned a slot in early May 2025. If your child is offered a slot at that time, you will be asked to complete the Registration Paperwork. Please contact Anne Leblond or Amy Olszewski with any questions at 413-323-0428.
