The Nutley Public School District is fortunate to have the opportunity to provide free, high-quality preschool to enrolled students. We provide a 6 -our school day program, Monday through Friday, for our 3 and 4-year-old students. Hours are typically 8:45am until 2:45pm, but are subject to vary depending on the location. Raising Raiders follows the Nutley Public Schools' calendar, in all locations.
