The state's full-day pre-K expansion is rolling out unevenly across Bergen County, with some districts fully participating this fall and others still finalizing their applications for state funding.

Hackensack is among the first wave of districts offering full-day seats countywide, with enrollment handled through the district's regular registration portal rather than a separate application.

If your district isn't participating yet, it's worth asking directly whether they've applied for the next funding cycle — several are expected to join within the next year or two as state funding expands further.
