The Pre K Counts program is funded by a grant through the Department of Education. Your application status will not be approved until the end of May and is contingent upon the receipt of the award and funding for the 2025-2026 school year.
We recommended filling out a general program registration form, and inquiring about scholarship or ELRC funding as a backup plan.

The Wilkes Barre Family YMCA Early Learning Center

Applications will close June 30th, 2025. All accepted children will be notified once the grant is secured for the 2025-2026 school year. Applications are reviewed for criteria such as age, income, and risk factors. This is NOT a first come, first serve process.
All applications MUST include income verification; 2024 tax return or one months worth of pay stubs for all working adults in the home. Applications will not be processed without this information.
