Families who are selected will be notified by July 17.

“Preference in lotteries is given to income eligible children who are experiencing homelessness or living in foster care, siblings of Bezos Academy students, children of Bezos Academy employees, and students transferring from another Bezos Academy location,” the school’s eligibility page states. “If you apply after the lottery date, your child will either receive a seat or be waitlisted, depending on if we have filled the seats in the school.”

Northeast Lakeview College will provide an initial 10-year lease in its Wellness Center to provide space for the preschool.

“Thank you to our partners at Northeast Lakeview College for sharing our belief that all children deserve the great start that an excellent preschool provides. Our goal is to nurture the potential in every child to become a creative leader, original thinker, and lifelong learner by increasing access to early childhood education in under-resourced communities,” Bezos Academy said on its website.
