Please note that our Young

Preschool classroom has very

limited spots available and fills

up very quickly.

We follow the WOU academic calendar and are open for 3, 11-week terms.    For the 2025-26 academic year, our first day of school will be Monday, September 29, 2025 and our last day will be Friday, June 12, 2026

Please note that the form is quite long and will take about 30 minutes to fill out.  We ask that you thoughtfully and completely fill out your responses. Please be completely honest about your child’s abilities, habits and challenges.  This will help us serve your family. It is difficult to fill out these forms on a cell phone so we recommend using a computer.

If you need access to a computer to fill out our forms, language translation or need assistance of any kind to complete our enrollment, please contact Tammy Gardner at gardnert@wou.edu or leave a message at 503-838-8238. We can make an appointment and provide access to a computer, interpretation or any additional assistance.

Please contact Tammy Gardner, Director, at gardnert@wou.edu 

 

Preschool Promise

Preschool Promise  

 

What is Preschool Promise?

Preschool Promise is a model for a publicly-funded, high-quality preschool system. Preschool Promise leverages high-quality, local and culturally-relevant early child care and education programs and makes them available to children living at 200% of the poverty level.

By incorporating a mixed delivery approach which recognizes that high quality early learning experiences can take place in a wide variety of settings, Preschool Promise provides opportunities for families to access and choose the preschool setting which best meets their needs.

The family application for Preschool Promise will be available starting April, 2025 from the State of Oregon.  Please fill out the form in the link below to start the process.  Please note that the applications for Preschool Promise are completely separate from the application link (above) for a spot at the WOU CDC.  Please fill out both if you are interested in applying for Preschool Promise.  

You can start the application process with Preschool Promise at the link below.  Please note they are still updating pages and it may say 25-26 year.
