Pre-K for All provides free, full-day, high-quality pre-K, which can help prepare children for sucess in school and in life. All programs create a high-quality learning experience designed to support how young children learn and develop. Families who apply will receive an offer letter in early May 2016, more than a month earlier than last year.
