1. Preschool Tuition Subsidy
The Mission of the Saskatoon Preschool Foundation is “To advocate for and support access to preschool programs”.
The Preschool Tuition Subsidy Program is meant to address the needs of preschool children where tuition is a barrier to attendance. The Board invites applications from individual families requiring support for tuition subsidies for monthly preschool fees in established preschools. While the Foundation has limited funds for this purpose, applications will be considered on a first come-first serve basis. We encourage applications at any time from families requiring support.
Please help us to help preschool children by providing copies of this information to individuals involved in preschool education and to families of preschoolers who may require financial support.
