The school only has two pre-K classes and registration is filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

"This is a really good school," said father Edgar Patron. "I have my other kids here and it's a really great school. That's the reason why probably all of use are out here trying to get a spot for our little ones."

Most of the parents came prepared to spend the night in the cold, bringing with them cots, blankets and coffee.
