Who can attend Georgia Pre-K for free?
Any Georgia child who turns four by September 1, regardless of family income. The funded day runs 6.5 hours, five days a week, for 180 days.
Where are the private and church Pre-K options?
DECAL's provider search filters by ZIP code. Our directory shows the 170 private schools that report pre-K enrollment, so you can check whether a school you'd keep for kindergarten offers a Georgia Pre-K class.
What covers the hours outside Pre-K?
CAPS can help qualifying working families pay for extended care, as well as care for younger siblings, at participating providers.
