Scope: Washington counties
Family intake and enrollment help for publicly funded preschool in Washington. Contact the regional team to review eligibility, documentation, provider choices and waiting lists.

Who this route is for
Preschool Promise generally serves children ages 3 and 4 under current DELC eligibility rules; other programs and sites have different age/income criteria. Ask the specialist about all applicable pathways.

Timing and notices
Source says applications can be submitted throughout the year; a submitted application does not reserve a seat.

Prepare (conditional documents may have alternatives)
[ ] Child birthdate information
[ ] Household income information
[ ] Oregon residence information
[ ] Housing-cost documents if the enrollment team requests them

How to proceed
1. Review the age/eligibility section and provider directory, including each provider schedule and transportation information.
2. Apply through the coordinated-enrollment portal or follow the paper application return instructions.
3. If you are slightly over the stated income criterion, ask the enrollment team whether the housing-cost adjustment applies and which records it needs.
4. Monitor the application and contact providers/enrollment staff about selection and waiting lists. If not enrolled last year, follow the instruction to reapply.

What will it cost?
Ask the enrollment team about program eligibility, any applicable costs and current openings. A referral or application does not promise a place.

After submission
Ask the preschool enrollment team for confirmation and any next steps, waiting-list or reservation instructions. Keep the provider messages and ask when to check back.

Corrections, denials and appeals
If the service is unavailable or you are outside its eligibility rules, ask the preschool enrollment team about another provider, location or program. Confirm missing-document or correction steps directly.

Language, disability and offline help
Ask the preschool enrollment team about language assistance, disability access and an offline or telephone option; available arrangements have not been independently confirmed.
