Tempe PRE is the city's high-quality, full-day preschool program. Launched in 2017, Tempe PRE is designed to make preschool accessible with free and tuition-based options to improve school readiness in our community. The program offers early childhood-certified teachers and staff, small class sizes and a play-based curriculum.
