OUR CLASSES ARE FULL FOR THE 2024-2025 Academic Year. 

We are taking a waitlist but it typically does not move much.

REGISTRATION for the 2025-2026 academic year will open on Thursday, May 1, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. for online registration.

Contact Tammy Gardner for registration information.

Please note that our Young Preschool classroom has very limited spots available and fills up very quickly.

We follow the WOU academic calendar and are open for 3, 11-week terms.    For the 2024-25 academic year, our first day of school will be Monday, September 30, 2024 and our last day will be Friday, June 13, 2025

Please note that the form is quite long and will take about 30 minutes to fill out.  We ask that you thoughtfully and completely fill out your responses.  It is difficult to fill out these forms on a cell phone so we recommend using a computer.

If you need access to a computer to fill out our forms, language translation or need assistance of any kind to complete our enrollment, please contact Tammy Gardner at gardnert@wou.edu or leave a message at 503-838-8238. We can make an appointment and provide access to a computer, interpretation or any additional assistance.

Please contact Tammy Gardner, Director, at gardnert@wou.edu 

Preschool Promise

Preschool Promise  

 

What is Preschool Promise?

Preschool Promise is a model for a publicly-funded, high-quality preschool system. Preschool Promise leverages high-quality, local and culturally-relevant early child care and education programs and makes them available to children living at 200% of the poverty level.

By incorporating a mixed delivery approach which recognizes that high quality early learning experiences can take place in a wide variety of settings, Preschool Promise provides opportunities for families to access and choose the preschool setting which best meets their needs.

The family application for Preschool Promise will be available starting May 1, 2024 from the State of Oregon.  Please fill out the form in the link below to start the process.  Please note that the applications for Preschool Promise are completely separate from the application link (above) for a spot at the WOU CDC.  Please fill out both if you are interested in applying for Preschool Promise.  

You can start the application process with Preschool Promise at the link below.  Please note they are still updating pages and it may say 23-24 year.
