Who is eligible?
|
Vermont’s Universal Prekindergarten (Act 166), allows children who are 3, 4, or 5 years old by September 1st to attend a prequalified prekindergarten program of their family’s choosing for 10 hours per week. Funding is provided for 35 weeks per year. If your child turns 6 years old mid-year funding will stop on their sixth birthday. |
Enroll vs Register
|
All children must be registered with their residential school’s registrar to receive prekindergarten funding regardless of whether they are attending a public or private program. Registration is completing paperwork with your child’s local school district so that they are counted as a child receiving education in the State of Vermont. Enrollment is completing paperwork so that your child can attend a program under VT. Child Care Licensing Regulations. If you wish to send your child to a private program you may enroll your child and your school district of residence will partner with your private program to ensure funding. If you do not register your child with your public school registrar, there will be no funding provided until they are fully registered. |
What if I am living with friends or family or are experiencing homelessness?
|
If you are living with family, friends, or are experiencing homelessness your child is still eligible to attend a prekindergarten program for 10 hours a week for 35 weeks. Contact the school or Supervisory Union district where you are living with and they can help you access prekindergarten registration. Where can I find other prequalified programs? A Vermont State licensed prekindergarten teacher must provide prekindergarten instruction for those ten hours and the program must hold a Quality Star rating of 4 STARS or have 3 STARS with a plan to achieve their 4th star.
