About Universal Pre-K
Windham Southeast School District/Supervisory Union partners with qualified early education programs throughout the community to offer Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) education to three, four and five-year olds not yet eligible for kindergarten. In the 2021-22 school year, we had partnership agreements with 14 preschools that meet Vermont’s Universal Pre-K requirements.
To participate in a partnership with WSESU, preschools have a teacher licensed and endorsed in early childhood education or early childhood special education, have 4 or 5 STARS, align their curriculum with Vermont Early Learning Standards, and agree to do ongoing assessment of children’s learning and development using Teaching Strategies GOLD.
Children who attend a qualified WSESU Pre-kindergarten Partnership Program are considered students of WSESU and receive a tuition reduction in an amount that is adjusted annually for ten hours per week of preschool. For the 2022-23 school year, that amount is $3,656. Families assume responsibility for tuition in excess of ten hours per week.
To Register
Families must complete the 2022-23 Pre-k Registration Google Form and pre-register by going to https://forms.gle/2kotirvPod41uToY6 in order to receive the Act 166 public pre-k tuition reduction.
