PreK Applications now being accepted

St. Mary’s County Public Schools (SMCPS) will begin to accept Pre-
Kindergarten 4 Applications on Thursday, April 11, 2024. The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future
allows for families with children who are 4 years old on or before September 1, 2024, to apply
for full-day Pre-Kindergarten. All families are welcome to apply; however, income is the
primary qualifier for eligibility. Families with an annual income at or below 300% of the Federal
Poverty Level (FPL) or families that are experiencing homelessness are deemed income eligible
and will be accepted first. All applications will be screened and identified on a System of Tiers.
