Families who meet the income threshold can receive financial support toward program registration fees.

Parents and guardians can submit applications directly through the P.R.O. Kids platform on the City’s website. The deadline for Fall 2026 is Saturday, August 15, and funding is provided on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
