Enrollment Information
Four Steps for Enrollment:
Step 1: Qualify
You may qualify for our program if your child is 3 years or younger by September 1, 2025 and your family or child can say ‘yes’ to any of the following:
- Child is in a foster placement
- Family is experiencing homelessness or living in a shelter
- Family receives TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)
- Family receives SSI (Supplemental Security Income)
- Family receives SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)
- Family meets income requirements
Step 2: Inquire
If your child is 3 years or younger by September 1, 2025, click the link below to fill out an online inquiry form for our program.
If you already have a child enrolled in our program, have previously filled out an inquiry form, have questions about eligibility, or need other help with the inquiry process, please email ChildApps@TulsaEducare.org.
Step 3: Verify
Once your inquiry form has been submitted and you’ve sent your qualifying documentation (this could be foster placement paperwork, TANF paperwork, etc.) to ChildApps@TulsaEducare.org, our Admissions Specialist will schedule an interview with you to verify your information and make sure your family meets our program’s eligibility requirements.
Step 4: Get Notified
After your interview, our Admissions Specialist will verify that your family qualifies for our program. If you do, you’ll be placed on a waitlist and contacted by one of our schools when a spot becomes available! Wait times vary.
What are the available Pre-K sites?
There are four school sites each designed with 16 classrooms.

Pre-K FAQ’s
After my interview, how long will it be before my child can start?
The waitlist is organized on a point system; each school has its own waitlist. The list changes daily as new children are added. The best way to get updates on your child’s position is to call the school directly and speak to the Director of Family Services. School contact information can be found here.
How do I submit my qualifying documents?
After submitting your inquiry form, you will receive an email with instructions. If you haven’t received it yet, check your spam folder, or send your documents to ChildApps@TulsaEducare.org
Do I have to have my child’s birth certificate or social security card to apply?
Nope! We only need your child’s immunization record to verify their name and date of birth.
I’m caring for a child other than my own, how do I qualify?
If you have foster care placement paperwork, guardianship paperwork, power of attorney, or a notarized letter from the child’s biological parent, submit that.
