The Preschool for All Site Application is open July 11 through September 9 for the 2026-2027 school year.
Black, Brown, Native American Indigenous, and Providers of Color are highly encouraged to apply to be a PFA Site. Preschool for All is committed to having a diverse set of providers who look and sound like the children and families enrolled in the program.
Attend one of the PFA Site Application Info Sessions - learn more about the application process and minimum requirements. Each session goes over the same information, so you only need to attend one. Live language interpretation will be provided.

Choosing an Application Path
Family child care providers can choose to apply to be directly contracted with Multnomah County or can choose to apply to be subcontracted through the intermediary organization, MESO (Micro Enterprise Services of Oregon). PFA Providers that are subcontracted through MESO get extra small business support from MESO.
MESO’s help focuses on small business health and development:
- How to plan a budget
- How to buy and keep the right insurance
- How to keep good business records
- How to hire and manage staff
- How to grow your business
You must apply through the Multnomah County’s procurement process (RFPQ) and be directly contracted with the County if you have any center programs (even if you are applying just for an FCC site).
If you choose to apply to be subcontracted with MESO so you can have access to small business supports, please apply here:
