High quality pre-k — because every child is Pennsylvania's future

Children who come to kindergarten without all the skills they need often struggle in school — not just in kindergarten but also in the years that follow. The Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Pre-K Counts program assists those who are at risk of school failure due to family income challenges (up to 300% of the federal poverty level). Designed for children ages 3 - pre-kindergarten, our program helps you and your child adjust to pre-k, and smoothly transition on to kindergarten.

Our Pre-K Counts program features:

• exceptional teachers with the knowledge and expertise to educate young children;
• schooling that helps your child grow academically and socially;
• regular check-ins on your child's progress;
• learning activities that are tailored for your child;
• small class sizes, allowing for plenty of one-on-one time with the teachers.

Financial Assistance

If your child qualifies for Pre-K Counts, and space is available, no fees will be charged for the school hours of 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday during the academic year.
