Snohomish County Program Offers Free Preschool to Low-Income Families

Snohomish County’s Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) is accepting applications to fill openings at 21 locations. The free preschool is offered to four-year-old children from low-income families. 

The following free services are provided to eligible families:

• Children take part in a preschool program with literacy, math, art, science and field trips.
• Children receive health screenings and referrals.
• Parents receive information about local resources, opportunities for parent education and family fun nights.
• Parents can volunteer in the program and learn more about community leadership. 

“ECEAP is a program that gives the youngest learners in Snohomish County a chance to succeed in the public education system,” says Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon.  “For 25 years, ECEAP has proved it can help families and their children build a solid foundation for the future." 

Snohomish County is distributing fliers to community organizations and businesses, and will contact income-eligible families by mail.
