PS 6 Lillie D. Blake (District 2) is a zoned school; the site states you cannot register until you live in the school’s zone. (ps6nyc.com) For 3-K and Pre-K, families apply through NYC DOE (via the linked DOE application pages), and the school lists eligibility by age (turning 3 or 4 during the calendar year). (ps6nyc.com) The school posts a (Fall 2025) timeline: applications open January 15, 2025; close February 28, 2025; Pre-K offers May 13, 2025; 3-K offers May 20, 2025; and waitlists close September 19, 2025. (ps6nyc.com) For Kindergarten, the DOE runs the application, offers are expected in March or early April, and admissions are not first-come/first-served; PS6 lists zoned-school priorities starting with in-zone families with a sibling (grades K–5), then in-zone without a sibling, and (if space allows) additional priorities for out-of-zone students (district/outside-district, sibling, and current PS6 Pre-K). (ps6nyc.com) For grades 1–5 (zoned), registration is by appointment through the main office and requires the child to be present plus documents such as proof of birth, two proofs of residence, a health exam form, and (if applicable) report card and IEP; the school notes it is meticulous about address verification.
