Family Assurances
By signing below, I acknowledge and agree to the following:
- I understand that my child’s eligibility for Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts (PA PKC) is subject to the program’s two-year participation limit. My child must be at least three years old by the kindergarten cutoff date set by the school district where we live to assure compliance with receiving only two-years of PKC programming.
- Once my child reaches the age required to enroll in kindergarten in the public school district where we live, I understand they will no longer be eligible for PA PKC funding.
- I understand that my child’s enrollment is contingent upon meeting the eligibility criteria, including income verification and prioritization based on risk factors.
- I understand that the PA Pre-K Counts (PKC) program is an educational program with attendance requirements.
- I agree to ensure my child’s regular attendance and to notify the program in case of absences. My program’s PA Pre-K Counts hours of operation are 8:45AM-3:30PM.
- I understand that the PKC portion of the day will be secular (non-religious) in nature and will not include religious instruction during the PKC portion of the day.
- I understand that once an enrollment start date is confirmed, the child’s PA Pre-K Counts enrollment status may be shared with other OCDEL-funded programs, such as the Early Learning Resource Center (ELRC) or Early Intervention, to ensure proper coordination of funding and services.
