Mission: Preschool advantage provides funding for qualified children to attend our partner preschools.
Programs: Preschool assistance: the first years of a child's life are critical to laying the foundation for a lifetime love of learning. Early childhood education sets the stage for future growth and propels children onto their educational paths. Despite the undeniable importance of a solid educational start, many local children have no means to attend preschool. Preschool advantage serves the population of struggling families who do not qualify for government funded programs because they earn above the poverty level, but are still earning below the level of sustainability for our region. These families simply cannot afford the cost of a preschool for their child thus hindering the child's success and opportunities later in life. The lack of sources of assistance for working families unable to support the cost of preschool led to the founding of preschool advantage in morristown in 1995. To date, we have funded almost 1,400 half-day preschool tuitions for over 900 children.
