Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts (Pre-K Counts) provides quality pre-kindergarten programs to eligible 3 and 4-year-olds in Pennsylvania and gives children a chance to learn, become excited about school and be better students.
Pre-K Counts is designed for children who:
Are between age 3 and until the entry age for kindergarten;
Are at risk of school failure and living in families earning up to 300 percent of the federal income poverty level (such as a family of four earning $93,600) who may also be English language learners or have special needs.
By enrolling your eligible child in quality pre-kindergarten, your child has a better chance of being ready for kindergarten and grade school. This strong early start in pre-kindergarten means they have a better chance of doing well in school, going on to college or career training, and getting a good job. All of this can start by enrolling your child in a Pre-K Counts classroom!
