How to Apply

To enroll your child in McPherson’s Chicago Early Learning Program, complete the application process by creating an online account, providing necessary family information, and ranking your choices in order of preference. 


Upon receiving an offer letter, promptly accept it to secure your child's placement. For CPS Pre-K, verify placement through a Family Resource Center or directly at the school, providing proof of family income, address, and your child's birth certificate within two weeks. 


When it's time to enroll, visit your child's preschool for CPS Pre-K Programs and follow specific enrollment directions communicated by the school.
