Prekindergarten is a preschool program for children who are four years old on or before September 1. It serves families of all income levels, with priority given to those who are economically disadvantaged or experiencing homelessness. Children who are homeless qualify based on homelessness status, not income, and may remain enrolled while that status continues.
The program supports students’ cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development and is offered in elementary schools across the county.
To apply, families must complete online registration in ParentVUE and submit a displacement statement, if applicable.
Easter Seals offers high-quality early learning preschool to children ages 0-5 at no cost to qualifying low-income families in Southern Prince George's County, Maryland.
