PreK is Not Part of the Lottery System
If interested in the HHA PreK for your child, first complete the PreK Student Information Form. HHA PreK has seats for 40 students each academic year.
The priority for student selection is listed below:
Investment in high-quality early childhood education and learning experiences, as outlined by the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, means more equitable opportunities for children across the state to succeed as they begin their school careers. In this spirit, Baltimore City Public Schools has long offered PreK for all families. With equity at the forefront, PreK spots have always been offered first to families who qualify as Priority 1, according to state guidelines.
- Priority 1 children
- Are four years old by September 1 and
- Are considered income-eligible or experiencing homelessness, receiving special education services or eligible for English language services
- Priority 2 children
- Are four years old by September 1, but
- Are NOT considered income eligible, NOT experiencing homelessness, NOT receiving special education services, and NOT eligible for English language services
