The Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care is responsible for selecting, monitoring, and overseeing the Preschool Promise Program. We want to make sure you know that while the Four Rivers Early Learning Hub works to connect families to Preschool Promise services in our region, this doesn’t mean we endorse any specific programs. The Hub is not involved in the selection or monitoring process for Preschool Promise, and we are unable to confirm whether a program fully meets the Preschool Promise standards for quality, safety, or suitability for your child. We encourage you to review your options carefully to find the best fit for your family.
