​100 Preschoolers Got Free Tuition This Year Thanks To This Morristown Non-Profit

MORRISTOWN, NJ — This year, 100 little learners can attend preschool thanks to the efforts of a local nonprofit.

Preschool Advantage is a Morristown-based organization that is currently celebrating its 30-year anniversary. Over the years, the non-profit has funded more than 1,700 tuitions across 30 preschools in Morris and Somerset counties.

Recently, Preschool Advantage funded tuition for its 100th student for the 2025-26 school year.

“The gap between children who have attended preschool and those who have not increases with each successive year. However, when children are enrolled in a high-quality preschool program, these trends can be reversed, which allows children from all backgrounds to flourish,” a statement read. “We are committed to leveling the playing field between children whose families can afford to send them to preschool and those who cannot, so that all children in the community begin kindergarten with the tools they need for success.”

Below are the demographics of Preschool Advantage’s students this year:

● Percent of children from single-parent households: 28 percent
● Percent of families that don’t speak English at home: 19 percent
● Location: 76 percent of our families reside in Morris County, 16 percent in Somerset County, and 8 percent in other counties.
● Income Level: 88 percent of families fall at or below the income level needed to provide for basic needs in Morris and Somerset Counties.

Applications for the program’s 2026-27 school year will be made available on Jan. 15, 2026.

“Preschool Advantage is committed to giving children the opportunity to attend preschool and thus equalize the gap between lower-income families and affluent families,” a press release read. “The organization is supported by individual donors as well as by grants from foundations and businesses.”
