Implementation Overview
This year, Multnomah County Preschool for All is funding 3,800 seats at almost 220 preschool sites around the county, exceeding our Year 4 goal. Read more about our progress in our latest Implementation Update or our PFA Fast Facts resource.
Preschool for All Seat Goals
PFA will create universal preschool in Multnomah County by 2030. The program builds on existing state and federal funding for preschool. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on child care, the original yearly seat goals were revised in 2022 to be more realistic. While the yearly targets changed, the overall goal of universal access by 2030 remains the same. The current seat goals will stay in place until 2030 when the program is fully available to everyone. Read more about our seat goals here.

The dashboard shows data about the children, families, and providers who are a part of Preschool for All. This includes demographic information about children enrolled in PFA. It also includes a site map of all PFA locations. The map can tell you how many preschools and how many seats are available in each zip code. Click here to learn more.
