Mayor Bruce Harrell and education partners announce the opening of applications for the City’s award-winning Seattle Preschool Program (SPP) for the 2023-2024 school year. This year, SPP will expand with seven new classrooms, including three new dual-language classes. SPP provides free tuition for most Seattle families who apply, with rates calculated based on household income and family size to advance educational equity and reduce race-based opportunity gaps in kindergarten readiness.
