Applications for Early Years admissions must be completed and submitted by Thursday, March 31, 2022.
The applications will be for children born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020 for a place in an early year setting in 2023.
The Welsh Government funds the council to ensure that all children in Powys have access to free part-time early years education from the beginning of the term following the child's third birthday.
Each qualifying child can receive a maximum of 10 hours per week of funded early years education if they attend an approved, funded pre-school education setting.
Children eligible for free part time education will only receive the funded place if they are attending an approved funded pre-school education setting.
Lynette Lovell, the council's Director of Education, said: "All parents and carers should complete this application as soon as possible to ensure that their child has a place at their preferred early years / pre-school setting next year.
"If it is not completed in time, this may jeopardise their child's place at their preferred setting."
Parents / carers will need to complete an online application form which can be found here - Apply for Pre-School (3 and 4-year-olds) Early Years Education
