The application to join the Cooperative in the 2026-2027 school year will open in the coming months

Please check back for an updated application timeline!

Each year, we invite pre-K providers serving children ages 3-5 from all parts of our diverse early education sector to join our network.  Our application process is designed to enable providers to get to know our work and to determine the level of engagement that will be the right fit for new partners. This year, we’re excited to welcome providers in BOTH St. Louis City and St. Louis County and applicants from non-profit, for-profit, center-based, and family childcare programs as well as elementary schools. We want to share the resources of our network with all members of the St. Louis community as we continue our work towards equitable access to quality pre-K.
