How a partnership works

Listings are free. Partner relationships are labeled where they appear, and our funding guidance is the same whether or not a school partners with us.

  1. Claim and verify your listing.
  2. Tell us which programs you take: EFS, ESA, IEA, Smart Steps, a district VPK classroom.
  3. Receive families with a short summary of the program they hold.
  4. Optional: co-host a school-choice information night for your congregation.
