Divine Wisdom Catholic Academy offers free 3-K/Pre-K seats — New York City's free public preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds, run through the Education Department (DOE). The DOE oversees these programs itself, so there is no daycare-style inspection report here. A Pre-K/3-K program operates at this address in the DOE's current directory (checked Jul 28, 2026) (listed as “THE CIVIC SCHOOL OF BAYSIDE HILLS”). In the most recent DOE admissions cycle, MySchools lists 15 3-K seats with 44 applicants and 18 Pre-K seats with 22 applicants — all seats were filled. Everything we publish for this record is free.
Inspections & oversight
Free 3-K and Pre-K programs answer to the city's Education Department, not the Health Department, so there is no daycare-style inspection report here. Here's what we can check instead.
How this program is overseen
- 3-K and Pre-K are New York City's free public preschool programs: 3-K for 3-year-olds, Pre-K for 4-year-olds. Seats are free whether the program runs in a public school or a community organization.
- The Education Department (DOE) oversees these programs itself and does not publish site-by-site inspection reports.
- Many community-run sites operate inside a licensed daycare center. When that's the case, the center keeps its own full inspection record, linked on this page if one exists at this address.
- We check the DOE's MySchools directory for this program's current listing, seats, and application status. Enrolling always goes through MySchools. More in our methodology.
