School-based preschools in Summit and Cuyahoga counties

Many public school districts, and some private and parochial schools, run preschool classrooms licensed by the State of Ohio as "school-based preschools." Below is every school-based preschool the Ohio Child Care Search lists in Summit and Cuyahoga counties.

What to know

• Schedule: PRE4CLE describes school-district preschool as classroom-based, typically 8 a.m.–3 p.m. Monday–Friday on the school-year calendar, with no summer session. Hours vary by district, so check each listing (PRE4CLE 2026 Enrollment Guide).
• Ages: generally children who are 3 or 4 on the first day of school (PRE4CLE 2026 Enrollment Guide).
• Cost: Cleveland Metropolitan School District preschool is free for Cleveland residents. Other districts may charge some tuition (PRE4CLE 2026 Enrollment Guide).
• Children with disabilities: PRE4CLE notes school-district preschool can be a good fit if your child has special needs (PRE4CLE 2026 Enrollment Guide). Contact your district's preschool or special education office.

Not every program below is run by a public district. The state's "school-based preschool" license also covers some private and church-affiliated schools. Call to confirm eligibility, tuition and enrollment dates.
