PRESCHOOL

 

 

Our preschool program focuses on ensuring that all students are well prepared for kindergarten! 

​

YCAM now participates in the PHLPREK Program! 

​

PHLpreK provides locally funded quality pre-K programs for 3 and 4-year-olds. Funded by the Philadelphia Beverage Tax, PHLpreK provides free, quality pre-K opportunities to 3,300 children across the city.

​

​

​

WHAT IS PHLPREK?

PHLpreK is Philadelphia’s FREE, new quality pre-K program.

AM I ELIGIBLE?

PHLpreK is available to 3 and 4 year old children who reside in the City of Philadelphia. You are likely eligible to enroll your child for the PHLpreK 2020-21 academic year if:

  • Your child has turned 3 or 4 by September 1, 2020

  • You are a resident of Philadelphia

There are no income or employment requirements

​

IS PHLPREK FREE?

If you enroll your child for the traditional school day (5.5 hours), school year, this is free. If you require hours beyond a traditional school day and summer, you will need to pay the PHLpreK provider for the extra hours or take advantage of child care subsidy (CCIS) benefits if you qualify.
