Program Information

Program Eligibility: Our Pre-Kindergarten programs are funded through Preschool Promise, Preschool for All, and Head Start grants with priority populations including:

• Children from families affected by homelessness, incarceration, substance abuse, mental health issues, and domestic violence; 
• Migrant and refugee families;
• Children who speak languages other than English; 
• Children who experience developmental delays and disabilities; 
• Children of teen parents or military families; 
• Children living in foster care;
• Children enrolled in a Title VI Indian Education Program or organization.

Applicants who do not meet these priority enrollment criteria may be placed in a waiting pool for enrollment consideration in late summer or early fall. Some PPS Pre-K and Head Start programs are income-restricted and others give priority to family incomes below the Oregon self-sufficiency index.
