Livingston Public Schools is proud to share that our P.R.I.D.E. (Pre-School Readiness Individual Development Education) Program is a full-day program with spots available for non-disabled preschool students. In this program, students will be provided with a language-rich, research-based curriculum. They will spend their days with New Jersey-certified teachers and their peers, both disabled and non-disabled, to achieve the expectations of the school district's well-designed curriculum, based on New Jersey's Student Learning Standards for preschool. The students gather daily to develop social language, work as partners and in groups, and explore, play, create, share, and learn. 

Scheduling details of the program will be shared with families who apply for consideration. The cost for students selected by lottery is $9,300 for the full 2026-2027 school year. The program takes place from 8:20 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. daily and follows the school district’s calendar.
