Kindergarten · the first full year of school, run for readiness not pressure
Kindergarten in New York
New York public schools are overseen by the New York State Education Department. This is the Kindergarten view of one honest K-12 platform, from the state capital of Albany to the smallest district in between.

What Kindergarten looks like here
The first full-day school year; a child learning to be a student before learning subjects -- letters, numbers, colors, and how a school day works.
The roster is how a five-year-old is known by name on day one -- imported once, the child is on the class list, the guardian is the contact of record, before any photo or page exists.
From preschool / at-home / daycare into the first graded-school building; the platform's early-learning keepsake posture (preschool) carries forward, now on a real school roster.
Standards
The academic standards Kindergarten follows in New York
New York adopts its own academic standards; the New York State Education Department is the authority that sets what a public school teaches. Below are the real, currently listed New York standards documents for Grades K-2, by subject, with a link to each one so you can read it at the source. We write our own free Kindergarten materials to align with them; we are not the New York State Education Department, and we are not endorsed, approved by, or affiliated with it.

We cite the standard codes and link the source document; the full text is published there.
Standard codes and text are drawn from the Common Standards Project / Achievement Standards Network (ASN) corpus, republished by D2L Corporation (CC BY (per-document; see each cell.document.license)). 3rd-party aggregator copy, NOT an authoritative state publication. Verify against each document's own source before treating as authoritative. We do not present this as an authoritative crosswalk; each state agency’s own publication, linked above, is the authority.
Honest by default
The school stays the FERPA custodian of student records; a rep-scoped view reads zero grade rows at the database engine. Money, pricing, and checkout are honest-off on this page, and any school count above is an NCES Common Core of Data reference figure, never a claim of adoption in New York.
Where these numbers come from
Data from the NCES Common Core of Data, 2023-2024. Schools may have opened or closed since publication.
