Located on Hollister Street in a new building with a spacious playground, the Manchester Preschool Center houses nine Headstart classrooms, as well as two special ed classrooms, for children ages 3 and 4. Of the staff of 14 teachers, about 80 percent have acquired their masters degrees.
With approximately 200 students already at the center, the center also has a waiting list. It is recommended that parents who wish to enroll their students start the registration process around the first of March for the following fall. All students enrolled must have reached the age of 4 by the 31st of December of that year.
Program Director at the center is Jerry Reisman, Ph.D. He may be reached via email at b08jreis@ci.manchester.ct.us.
