Preschool for All

The Preschool for All family application for 2023-24 is open!

Preschool for All programs are free and start in September 2023 for the 2023-24 school year. Our initial placement window was in May, but the application has reopened and families who did not apply previously can do so now! The majority of Preschool for All seats are filled for the upcoming 2023-24 school year, and any new applications will likely be placed on waitlists for the programs each family chooses on their application.

What is Preschool for All?

Voters in Multnomah County overwhelmingly supported “Preschool for All” on November 3rd, 2020, with 64 percent of voters approving the measure to extend early education to children across the County. Measure 26-214 directed the Department of County Human Services to administer the program.

Preschool for All (PFA) connects 3- and 4-year-olds in Multnomah County to free, culturally responsive, inclusive preschool experiences. The program will grow over time, increasing the number of children and families that it serves each year.
