Registration for Multnomah County’s Preschool for All is currently open!
Friendly House is a proud participant in the second year of Multnomah County’s Preschool for All (PFA) initiative. Preschool for All (PFA) connects families in Multnomah County to free, inclusive, culturally responsive early education. PFA will grow over time, increasing the number of providers and families, until it will be available to all interested families in Multnomah County in 2030.
There are just two eligibility requirements to participate. Children must:
- Be 3 or 4 years old by September 1, 2023 and
- Have a parent or legal guardian living in Multnomah County.
There are no income eligibility requirements for Preschool for All. Click the button below to register and get more information.

Parent Reviews
I loved this program, how welcome our family has felt. I love that we had such a small child-to-teacher ratio. The volunteer staff has been sweet and supportive as well. This program has far exceeded my expectations.
