Financing PreK-3

Financing PreK-3

  • Incorporating PreK into elementary schools is complicated by the fact that PreK is usually not covered in the regular school funding formulae. 
  • There are multiple possible funding sources that can be used and blended to fully finance school-based PreK, and even in tight financial times there are ways to bring PreK programs to your school.
  • FirstSchool offers an interactive tool that can help local school administrators and central office personnel with the financing decisions necessary to establishing or adding PreK classrooms.
