Preschool Promise
Preschool Promise is Oregon’s innovative free preschool program. It is open to families children who are 3 or 4 years old and whose income is at 200% of the Federal Poverty Level or below.
About:
Preschool Promise is established state investment in publicly funded preschools. It funds more high-quality preschool options for families who haven’t had them before.
Low-income children and children of color are less likely to have the chance to attend a high-quality preschool—so they’re often less prepared for success in school and life. That’s why Early Learning Multnomah invests Preschool Promise funds in programs that serve children of color, implement culturally relevant practices, and prioritize family engagement. It is the intent that Preschool Promise enrollment not be first-come first-served, to support our equity goals to focus public funding towards communities that have been historically under-served and those who may have not had ready access to services.
Early Learning Multnomah is working with culturally relevant providers in a variety of settings, including schools, childcare programs, and Head Starts to offer local, high-quality preschool to families.

Preschool Promise offers slots in a variety of programs and settings, each with their own schedule, hours, and focus.
