What is Preschool for All?
Preschool for All came from a two-year community planning process where more than 100 people came together to create a vision for Multnomah County children and their families. Voters in Multnomah County overwhelmingly supported the Preschool for All ballot measure on November 3, 2020, with 64 percent of voters approving the measure. 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. From the beginning, the program was designed to grow over time, increasing the number of children and families that it serves each year. In 2030, all interested families will have access to free preschool.
