The Preschool for All Site Application will open July 11, 2025 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.
- TBD scheduled for the July 11th application opening
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 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:
