Could the school representatives please provide information about waitlists, enrollment dates, etc?

We'd also be curious to know if applications and a place on the waitlist automatically roll over from one year to the next or if one must apply again each year.

+1 Alexandra. I echo Alexandra’s question! I’d appreciate a window into how many openings, waitlists, enrollment dates, etc for each school.

are library cards from Easthampton library eligible at Forbes?

@Jason-yes, they are!

How do you order a replacement library card?

Gan Keshet Preschool is currently accepting applications through the end of February. The application and more information can be found on our website at www.gankeshetpreschool.org

@Josh, Our waitlists for Head Start are updated every year and as long as we receive the updated documents your child will stay on the waitlist without the need to re-do the intake that initially takes place.

@Alexandra you can order a replacement card by using this form: https://forbeslibrary.org/help/renew-my-library-card/

In the card number field, please type in 'need new card.'

@Sarah Thanks!

My pleasure!

@ Elizabeth D For Head Start, we have different program options located in many areas. So openings and waitlists depend upon where you are located and what program you are interested in.

Registration for NPC’s Infant Toddler First Aid for Parents and Caregivers next week on Zoom: https://forms.gle/NThBvYMh5erpgDXW8

There are 2 options, a Wednesday evening or Friday morning.

@Swansea can teens and tweens attend the first aid training?

Yes, they are welcome to attend. It’s got a focus on first aid for young children but is highly applicable to all first aid and perfect for teens who might be babysitting...

Thanks!
