What is Preschool for All?
Preschool for All came from a two-year community planning process. More than 100 people created 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. 64 percent of voters approved 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 fully paid preschool. 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.
