Sixty children have the opportunity to attend Pre-K for free at Reeds Spring Primary School, thanks to a grant from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
The 2025-2026 Missouri Quality PreKindergarten (MOQPK) Grant covers tuition and meals, regardless of the family’s income.
“We are incredibly honored to have been awarded the MO-QPK grant from DESE,” said Primary School Assistant Principal Tara Connors. “This opportunity allows us to provide high-quality, tuition-free preschool for all four-year-old children in our community.”
To qualify, a child must turn four years old on or before July 31. They must live in the Reeds Spring School District and complete a free developmental screener through our Parents as Teachers program.
“Access to early childhood education lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning, and we know that when every child is given the chance to thrive from the start, the entire community benefits,” Connors said. “It’s an exciting step toward brighter futures for all.”
