PA Pre-K Counts

LKS provides high-quality Pre-K education for 3 and 4-year old children at NO COST to qualifying families through the Pre-K Counts. The purpose of Pre-K Counts is to expand the number of children who have the opportunity to experience a Pre-K program of high quality. Early education through a Pre-K Counts program opens the doors of opportunity for every child to do well in school, in the workplace, and in life. PA Pre-K Counts is free to income eligible families.
