The Preschool for All family application for the 2024-25 school year is open!
We have reopened the 2024-25 Preschool for All family application. Our primary application period happened last spring, and the majority of Preschool for All seats are filled for the upcoming 2024-25 school year. New applications will likely be placed on waitlists for the programs each family chooses on their application. Only families who did not apply in the spring should apply now.

Preschool for All
Voters in Multnomah County overwhelmingly supported “Preschool for All” on November 3rd, 2020, with 64 percent of voters approving the measure to extend early education to children across the County. 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 free, culturally responsive, inclusive preschool experiences. The program will grow over time, increasing the number of children and families that it serves each year.
