Summary

This is an attachment to a Request for Applications (RFA) for the Northwest Early Learning Hub's Preschool Promise (PSP) Eligible Provider List, administered by the State of Oregon. The RFA seeks to establish a waitlist of eligible providers for Preschool Promise spaces across three counties: Clatsop, Columbia, and Tillamook. The primary objective is to build an eligible provider list to facilitate the reallocation of Preschool Promise spaces to entities that best meet the community needs identified by the hub as spaces become available. Successful applicants awarded a position on the Eligible Provider List will be considered eligible to receive Preschool Promise spaces if such spaces become available before June 30, 2027. The document indicates that all provider types are encouraged to submit applications during this RFA period to obtain a position on the Eligible Provider List.

The attachment specifies that provider evaluation will be based on a Community Needs Score calculation, with detailed scoring methodology described in Section 4 of the RFA for Evaluation. The document includes a prioritization framework organized by zip code, geographic location, type of learning environment, and primary language of instruction, along with the number of available spaces. Additional information regarding Community Needs Score calculation and evaluation criteria is referenced in the comprehensive RFA evaluation section.
