Applications for Early Years admissions must be completed and submitted by Friday, March 31, 2023.
The applications will be for children born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021 for a place in an early year setting in 2024.
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.
Cllr Pete Roberts, Cabinet Member for a Learning Powys, said: "I would encourage all parents and carers to complete this application as soon they can to ensure that their child has the best opportunity of a place at their preferred early years / pre-school setting next year.
"If it is not completed in time, this may put at risk their child's place at their preferred setting if it is a very popular one."
Parents / carers will need to complete an online application form which can be found at Apply for Pre-School (3 and 4-year-olds) Early Years Education.
If you have any queries or are having problems completing or submitting the application please contact the Admissions Team on 01597 826449 or email preschooladmissions@powys.gov.uk
