  • What is the age cutoff for children to attend Kaplan Cooperative Preschool?   To enter the 2.5, 3 or 4’s program, applicants must have reached that age no later than September 30th.
  • What if my child is born in the Spring or Summer?  We added a class called Parparim (butterflies in Hebrew) for April, May, June and July birthdays that begins in either November or January depending on the pool of children each year.  Applications for this program are accepted at the same time as the students who begin in September (January 31st).
