PHLpreK Request for Qualifications

PHL PRE-K SEEKS PARTNERS FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR

The Mayor’s Office of Education invites quality pre-K providers to join PHLpreK! A “Continuation Application” invites current PHLpreK providers to continue their contract with the program during the 2017-2018 school year. A separate “Request for Qualifications” gives new early childhood education providers an opportunity to apply be a part of PHLpreK. While the City originally planned to add 1,000 additional seats this September, further expansion beyond the first 2,000 seats has been halted due to the beverage industry’s decision to appeal the ruling by the Court of Common Pleas.
The Continuation Application for PHLpreK supports the continuation of current PHLpreK partners seeking to remain in the program during the 2017-2018 academic year. The application deadline is Wednesday, May 3, 2017, and mandatory information sessions will be held on:

• Thursday, April 13th, 4-6pm, PHMC, 1500 Market Street, Lower Mezzanine
• Monday, April 17th, 4-6pm, PHMC, 1500 Market Street, Lower Mezzanine
