This bill mandates that all school districts in New Jersey provide full-day kindergarten programs for their students. It specifies that districts classified in district factor groups A, B, CD, or DE, which do not currently offer a full-day program, must implement one by the start of the 2020-2021 school year. Other districts that lack a full-day kindergarten program must do so by the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year.

Additionally, the bill establishes a uniform age requirement for kindergarten enrollment, stipulating that children must be five years old by October 1 of the school year to be eligible for admission. This replaces the previous system where each district set its own age requirements. The changes aim to standardize kindergarten enrollment and ensure that all students have access to full-day kindergarten education.
