Private Prekindergarten Partnerships
Act 166: Universal Prekindergarten
Public funding for prekindergarten is for a maximum of 10 hours per week for 35 weeks per year of high quality early learning following the sending school district’s academic calendar. In order to qualify for funding your child must attend a Pre-Qualified program for at least 10 hours per week. Your child must be at least 3 years of age on or before September 1st for the school year in which you are requesting public funding.
It is the parent’s responsibility to enroll their child in a Pre-Qualified Program. The program your child attends cannot charge you for the 10 hours per week, 35 weeks of Prekindergarten; however time beyond this allotment is your responsibility. To locate a Pre-Qualified Program visit: Bright Futures Non-Profit. Please inquire directly with the preschool Director to determine if they currently partner or plan to partner with WCSU under Act 166.
Alternatively, WCSU has tuition free publicly funded prekindergarten for 3 & 4 year olds at Townshend Elementary, Wardsboro Elementary, and Dover Elementary Schools. These full time programs may be free for your child depending on your residency. To enroll in one of our public prekindergarten programs instead, please visit the WCSU New Family Enrollment Page.
