In March 2004, San Francisco voters passed Proposition H, a Charter Amendment, declaring, “It shall be the policy of the City and County of San Francisco to provide all four-year-old children who are City residents the opportunity to attend preschool…” This initiative provides access to high quality part-day preschool for all San Francisco’s four-year-olds, regardless of household income. In January, 2010 Pacific Primary was selected to be part of the Preschool For All program.
For the 2011-2012 school year, all eligible Preschool for All students must be a San Francisco resident and have a birthday between December 3, 2006 and December 2, 2007. Once enrolled, Preschool for All families receive a monthly discount on their tuition. In addition to the tuition discount, Pacific Primary receives improvement funds based on the number of enrolled children that enhance the school’s programs.
