[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can also qualify for pre-K at the Montgomery county public schools if English is not the child's primary language.[/quote]

False. MCPS Pre-K is solely income based. Pre-K students may qualify for ESOL services *once enrolled in MCPS Pre-K*, but they can't qualify due to anything besides the family's income (or a disability in the case of PEP). Please don't spread misinformation.

From the MCPS website:

[b]Who is eligible to apply for MCPS Prekindergarten and Head Start Programs?
The MCPS Prekindergarten/Head Start program serves low-income families with children who will be four years old by September 1, 2020. This includes children with disabilities. There are limited spaces available in certain areas of Germantown, Rockville, and Takoma Park for Head Start income-eligible children who will be three years old by September 1, 2020.[/b]

Kids with learning difficulties may also qualify. Maybe the PEP pre-K is a different program, but I am not sure.  To fill the class, there are also sometimes spots for kids without these challenges and it isn’t income based, or at least there can be non-income based slots if no one else claims them.  Again, I am not positive the exact details.[/quote]

You're referring to the PEP Collaboration program. [/quote]
