Framingham reports expansion to pre‑K seats; new classroom opened in January
Summary
District officials reported growth in pre‑K seats to 216 and opened a new inclusion classroom Jan. 6; application window for 2025–26 seats is open with varied schedules.
Framingham Public Schools staff reported Jan. 14 that the district now has 216 pre‑K seats, up from 62 seats in the 2021–22 school year, and that an additional classroom opened Jan. 6.
The update, delivered by district staff, noted that the new classroom at Blox Juniper Hill is a special education inclusion classroom that serves eight general early learning (PELL) students and seven students with special education needs. Staff announced that the application window for 2025–26 pre‑K enrollment is open and that the district is implementing consistent alphabet recognition tools across its five pre‑K sites as part of literacy alignment.
Beth McNulty joined the pre‑K expansion team as an English language development coach and will progress‑monitor emergent bilingual students, the presentation said. The district said varied schedules and programming options are available for families seeking pre‑K seats.
Why it matters: the district is steadily increasing early‑education capacity and adding supports for emergent bilingual learners and inclusive settings. Applications for 2025–26 were announced during the meeting.
