In order to qualify for St. Tammany Parish Public School Pre K at no cost, families must provide one of the following documents to determine income eligibility:

Food Stamp Eligibility letter (SNAP), noting case certification period and the child’s name
Two consecutive check stubs within two months of completing income verification for each working adult supporting the family. Eligibility is based on total household income
Monetary Determination Letter from the Workforce Commission of LA, if unemployed
Current foster care placement agreement from DCFS

As stated by another poster, many districts use the federal poverty guidelines to determine eligibility for tuition-free pre-k. Most districts also offer pre-k that parents have to pay tuition for, but I’m not sure if all do. ETA: St. Tammany’s site says “Families who do not meet income eligibility may be charged monthly tuition based on a sliding scale.”

985-898-3306 is the number to the St. Tammany Pre-K office.

My daughter's going through Pre-K testing right now.


Apparently they take into account how much extra work the child needs to be prepared for kindergarten, as well as, parents' income and parents' education level to fill up the spots.

Our school nearby has 20 spots for 28 kids.


My wife and I are screwed.

All of this info is correct. The only minor thing to add is that after special ed kids are added to the roster, then children under the federal poverty line are added. Then, if there are any slots left over, it’s first come first serve until al slots are filled with those parents paying tuition to attend. If you can get in, it’s much better and cheaper than daycare.
