Attention, those in northern AJC (i.e., north of the county border)! If you…
- Live in Multnomah County; and
- Have one or more children who will be 3 or 4 years old during the 2026-27 school year
…then your child(ren) can receive free preschool through Preschool for All. During the month of April 2026, applications will be open for the 2026–27 school year. Seats are available across the county, and all families are eligible. The most important step is to apply.
You can choose the preschool programs that feel like the best fit for your child, including
community-based centers, home-based programs, and school classrooms. To apply:
- Go to the Preschool for All website: pfa.multco.us
- Choose your preferred programs. (You can choose up to eight.)
- Submit one application per child.
The application is available in six languages, and you can get free, one-on-one help if
you need it. Just reach out to pfa.support@multco.us
After you apply, you may receive a placement offer by email. If one of your top choices
isn’t available right away, your child will be placed on waitlists for the programs you selected.
Apply by April 30 to be included— it only takes a few minutes to get started. Learn more and apply today: multco.us/preschool
