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!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A PRE-K COUNTS CLASSROOM?

BHASD PA Pre-K Counts classrooms will:

  • Employ teachers with the education and expertise to teach young children

  • Allow children to participate in indoor and outdoor play daily

  • Use a research-based curriculum that will help your child grow, academically and socially

  • Regularly review your child’s progress and choose teaching and learning activities that are best for your child

  • Help you and your child adjust to pre-kindergarten and smoothly move on to kindergarten

  • Provide nutritious lunch and snacks daily

  • Offer a small class size (16 students per one teacher and one aide) so that your child can have plenty of one-on-one time with the teachers.

By enrolling your eligible child in Pre-K Counts, you can give your child a great start to a bright future.
