Universal Preschool program (UPK)

UPK allows families to choose the right setting for their child, whether it is in a licensed community-based, school-based or home-based preschool

 

UPK ensures that every child in the year before they are eligible for kindergarten is eligible for up to half-day (15 hours) of state-funded, voluntary preschool beginning in the 2024-25 school year. Providers may choose to offer 10-hour programs. Three-year-olds who are low income or have qualifying factors can reach out to their school district of residence for more information.
