About Pre-K for All

Currently, all publicly funded Pre-K programs in Memphis and Shelby County require income eligibility for enrollment.

Pre-K for All aims to be the first program in Memphis and Shelby County to provide FREE Pre-K for ALL 3 and 4-year-olds in Shelby County, regardless of income. Thus allowing parents/guardians to work or go to school knowing their children are in a high-quality program.
