Thank you for your interest in the Bucks IU Early Childhood Programs. You will be contacted in seven to ten working days to review your information by phone. To complete the final application, families will need to provide the following information: Proof of income, Proof of Birth, and Proof of Residency. Pre-K Counts Only* By submitting the application, you acknowledge and agree that your child’s eligibility for Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts (PA PKC) is limited to two years, and they must be at least three years old by the school district’s kindergarten cutoff date. Once your child becomes eligible for kindergarten in your district, they will no longer qualify for PA PKC funding. Enrollment is contingent upon meeting eligibility criteria, including income verification and prioritization based on risk factors. You will ensure your child’s regular attendance and notify the program in case of absences. Additionally, you understand that the PKC program is secular and will not include religious instruction.

Required information is missing, see above.
