Updated 1/30/20

PHLpreK, the City’s free quality pre-K program, has added over 1,000 new seats for the 2019–2020 school year at existing and new locations. It’s not too late for your child to participate in this program. It’s free, and best of all it prepares students for life-long success. Check out our blog to hear from parents and experts about the lasting benefits of pre-K!

Interested families can find centers with open PHLpreK seats below (or by calling 844-PHL-PREK/844-745-7735) and enroll in person. If your child is 3 or 4 as of September 1, sign your child up today. There are no income requirements for PHLpreK. Visit www.PHLpreK.org to see a map of participating centers.

If there are no PHLpreK seats available in your centers of choice, you can call the PHLpreK hotline (844-745-7735) to learn about other options (such as Head Start and Pre-K Counts). You can also contact your preferred center and ask to join the waitlist!
