Preschool for All is growing, and it's changing lives!

In our newest video, you'll meet Patricia, a Multnomah County parent who's experiencing the impact of free, high-quality preschool through Preschool for All — making it possible for her to to return to work as an oncology nurse while watching her daughter thrive with new friendships, growing confidence, and even increased willingess to try new foods!

I'm so proud of what we're building together: a future where every child gets to learn, play, and thrive in preschool, and every parent has the support they need to help that happen.

I hope you'll watch Patricia's story below, and then help us spread the word! Family applications for the 2025-26 preschool year are open through April 30, and your voice can help more families find their way to this opportunity.

Sincerely, 

Leslee Barnes

Preschool & Early Learning Division Director
