BRANSON, MO (August 2, 2024) – The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has announced the recipients of the 2024-2025 Missouri Quality PreKindergarten (MOQPK) Grant. The MOQPK grant is designed to provide funding for high quality preschool programs in Missouri.

The MOQPK grant will allow all four-year-olds who meet certain criteria to attend Branson Schools Pre-K free of charge during the 2024-2025 school year, regardless of the family’s income status.

To be considered for placement Pre-K students must meet the following requirements:
