Family Child Care & Single- Site Small Center Pilot Site Applications

Family Child Care & Single- Site Small Center Pilot Site Applications

The Preschool for All Pilot Site Application is now open March 7th through April 7th. 


Black, Brown, Native American Indigenous, and Providers of Color are highly encouraged to apply to be a PFA Pilot 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 Pilot 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. 

If you have any questions about the application, please review the Preschool for All Provider Frequently Asked Questions page. If your question is not answered there, please email preschoolforall@multco.us and we will get back to you as soon as possible!


Choosing an Application Path

Family child care providers and single-site small center 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 a large center with 100 or more children
  • have more than one center even if your application is just for one of your centers 

If you choose to apply to be subcontracted with MESO so you can have access to small business supports, please apply here: 

The link to submit the application can be found at the end of each document.
