Multnomah County Expands Preschool Program, Despite Lower Demand
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Multnomah Countys Preschool for All program is expanding, aiming to nearly double its seats to 7,460 for the 2026-27 school year, surpassing initial targets. Despite criticism for a large reserve, the county emphasizes its necessary for future growth. However, the final number may be lower due to provider decisions, construction, and inspections. New demographic data suggests the program might serve fewer children than expected, but demand is strong, with a 60% increase in seat requests and interest from new providers, many of which are small businesses.
