The school board accepted the Pre-K Counts Expansion Grant for $141,000, which expands the program from one to three full-time classrooms.


Three- and 4-year-olds are now being accepted to fill an additional 40 slots with a projected start day February 9 . Students are not required to reside in the Ambridge Area School District. 

One classroom will be at Economy Elementary School and the other at Highland Elementary. Another 20 slots were previously filled at the start of the school year at Highland. 


School leaders applied for the grant, but approval was delayed due to the state budget impasse. The grant is pro-rated for 75 days of service.

School officials say  three year old  pre-K students who enroll this season are automatically enrolled as a four year old in the Pre-K Program for the 2016-2017 school year.

Pre-K Counts provides free full-day pre-kindergarten for children who meet certain guidelines, including kids between age 3 and younger than the entry age for kindergarten and a family earning up to 300% of poverty such as a family of four earning $72,750.

General information about the Pre-K Program:
School day: 8:30 am to 2:30
Transportation: Provided by school district via a separate bus
Meals: Breakfast and lunch are provided at no cost to family
Teacher/student ratio: One (1) teacher to every ten (10) students
