Finding preschool matches
Compare official 2026–27 Preschool Promise, Head Start, and Early Head Start sites without turning a shortlist into a promise of eligibility or placement.
What this does
The Preschool Match guide compares the checked official Lane County program directory by age, place, schedule, preferences, optional income information, and scheduled transit.
When to use it
Use it when looking for publicly funded preschool options and you want a short list to contact or apply to.
What you need
Basic preferences. Income information is optional, and the answers stay in the current browser tab.
In this guide
Build a shortlist
Answer only what helps
Age, desired start time, travel mode, schedule, and program preferences narrow the official directory. Skip optional questions you do not want to answer.
Review why each site matched
The result explains the program model, published schedule and features, distance, and scheduled transit evidence when available.
Open the program source
Use the listed phone, website, application link, and official directory to confirm current details.
Apply through the program
Preschool Promise or Head Start decides eligibility and placement. LaneHelp does not submit the application or reserve a seat.
Ordinary searches for preschool, pre-K, Head Start, early learning, child care, or daycare may offer this guided comparison while keeping regular directory results available.
Common questions
Does a match mean my child qualifies?
No. The programs make the final eligibility decision, and eligibility does not guarantee placement.
Does LaneHelp save my answers?
The guided answers are kept in the current browser tab for the comparison. Avoid entering names or other private case details.
