Lottery Process
Preschool Openings:
If you have recently moved into Natick or are interested in any future openings, please contact Email April Davenport with your child's name, date of birth, preferred program choice, and your address in Natick.
Lottery Process for the 2026-2027 School Year:
Registration for the 2026-2027 school year lottery will commence on Monday, November 17th and will remain open until Friday, January 30th. Due to the high demand for our program, we use a lottery system to ensure a fair selection process. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with our program options beforehand, as you will need to select one program choice for your child.
To qualify for the lottery, you must be a current Natick resident. When registering, you will need to provide your child's name, date of birth, and contact information for at least one parent/guardian. Please ensure you register only once, per child, as multiple registrations will be discarded by the system. Note that your child must be 3 years of age prior to August 31st to participate. As of November 1st, 2024 no preference will be given based on siblings currently enrolled or previous attendance in the Natick Preschool program.
Lottery Results:
On or about, the week of February 9th, parents/guardians of students that were drawn for classroom placement, will receive confirmation in writing via email. You will then receive instructions on how to register your child. Families that were not selected in the lottery for classroom placement will be notified in writing by email and their numbered placement on the waitlist. Future openings will be filled by utilizing the waitlist.
