The Preschool for All Pilot Site application opens twice a year: in the late winter/early spring and the summer. Providers who score 70% or above on their application become a qualified provider. Becoming a qualified provider does not guarantee that a provider will receive a Preschool for All contract. Qualified providers remain qualified for five years and do not need to reapply each year.
Preschool for All providers must have at least three years of experience operating preschool. Experience in operations or management in early learning for groups between 0 and 5 years will be considered.
Each location's licensing history will also be reviewed as part of the process. We encourage providers to regularly review their licensing history in the child care safety portal to ensure that it is accurate. If you have questions about your licensing history, please reach out to the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care Child Care Licensing Division.
