Forest Lake Area Schools Community Education

Full Day Preschool is offered at seven elementary locations throughout the district for four and five-year-old children. Since the Full Day program does not receive any state funding, the program relies fully on parent fees to offer high-quality programming for our students.

Families can apply for an in-house School Readiness Scholarship providing financial assistance to families that have risk factors such as low income, family disruption, emergency circumstances, etc. This scholarship is based on a sliding fee scale adopted by the Early Childhood Programs and only a limited number of scholarships are available in the Full Day program.

Financial assistance options for Full Day Preschool are income-based through:

• Pathway I Scholarship


• Pathway II Scholarship


• School Readiness Scholarship
