The East Hampton School District will open up prekindergarten registration on Monday, with a deadline of May 20, to sign up children who will be 4 by Dec. 1.

The school district has 54 seats available in its full-day prekindergarten program at the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center, and has advised residents that if more than 54 children sign up, a lottery will be held on May 25 to determine who receives a seat.

Registration will take place in the school district’s central offices at 4 Long Lane. Hours are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 3 p.m., and Wednesdays from 1 to 6 p.m.

The East Hampton School District website, ehufsd.org, has the application forms and other required documentation, all of which are printable. More information can be obtained by calling Amanda Hayes at 329-4145.

The 2016-17 school year will be the second year the district has had a full-day prekindergarten program. The district recently renewed its contract with the early childhood center for another year.
