Pre-K Partnerships
What is a Pre-K Partnership?
Early learning partnerships are formal collaborations between local education
agencies (LEAs) such as school districts or open-enrollment charters, and
private early learning centers (ELCs) or Head Start centers. The resulting
partnership allows them to dual enroll children and provide prekindergarten
and/or additional comprehensive, wrap-around services. View the overview video.
