Free Preschool


Heart and Hands Preschool has partnered with the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) and Kalamazoo County Ready 4s (KC Ready 4s) to provide free and reduced cost preschool to students in our 5-day a week program.

Families may qualify for free preschool or extremely reduced tuition rates.

Funding from KC Ready 4s is only offered to students attending 5-days a week.

Our 5-day class uses the same academic curriculum as the 3-day class but because we are receiving outside funding we are unable to offer Bible lessons in this class.


To apply for free preschool use the Kalamazoo county Pre-K Application. The application for 2023-2024 school year will be available early February of 2024. You can pick up a form from us and turn in the necessary paperwork in person at our site or you may fill out the form on line and upload the required documents at www.DreamBigStartSmall.org. If you apply on line and want to be considered to Heart and Hands Preschool specifically, please contact us and let us know at 269-649-2343 ext. 106 or heartandhands@vicksburgumc.org. Otherwise your application will be filed in the general system and you will receive a list of possible schools to attend upon qualifying
