Flagstaff 4-year-olds from low-income families will be eligible for free, full-day, year-round preschool classes this fall.

The three-year pilot program proposed by LAUNCH Flagstaff a year ago will offer quality preschool to children whose families are between 101 and 250% of the federal poverty level, said Paul Kulpinski, partnership director of LAUNCH, in a presentation to the Flagstaff Unified School District governing board Tuesday.

He estimated there are between 230 and 260 children who would qualify.
