Give your young child a head start on school by registering them for Union City’s award-winning Early Childhood Education Program.

The program is free to all Union City residents. The hours of our instructional component are from 7:55 a.m. to 2:55 p.m.; however, please note that eligibility for before- and after-care (wrap-around services) is based on family income.

Students must be three, four, or five years of age by September 1, 2021, to be eligible.

To enroll your child, kindly download the application on our website at www.ucboe.us, scan the application, and email it to obarrios@ucboe.us. You may also drop it off in person at the Eugenio Maria de Hostos Center for Early Childhood Education at 2200 Kennedy Blvd., Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m, for all children ages three, four, or five years old only. (PLEASE DO NOT GO TO CENTRAL REGISTRATION on Palisade Avenue.)

Thanks to the support of Mayor Brian P. Stack and the Board of Education, we offer an excellent learning environment. We provide free breakfast, lunch, and snacks. It fills up quickly, so please don’t wait to register your child today.

Please follow the application instructions carefully before submitting your application.
