No.

 

The new tax law permits 529 distributions for K-12 tuition expenses. I  haven't read anything indicating that pre-K tuition expenses qualify.

 

Here's the text of the new law:

 

TREATMENT OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY TUITION.—Any reference in this subsection to the term ‘qualified higher education expense’ shall include a reference to expenses for tuition in connection with enrollment or attendance at an elementary or secondary public, private, or religious school.

 

Your 1 year old is enrolled in a preK program and not eligible.  Another way of saying that is: the student must be K-12; not just the school.
