A recent change in law provides state funding for young Hoosiers who are ready for kindergarten, but miss the traditional Aug. 1 cutoff by a few days or weeks. If schools choose to accept students who turn 5 after Aug. 1, they will have the flexibility and resources to enroll children who turn 5 by Sept. 1 of this year, and Oct. 1 of next year.
Parents ultimately know what is best for their child. If they feel their child is ready to enter kindergarten, they can apply with their local school. Click here to learn more. Those who believe their children are ready to start pre-K and meet certain eligibility requirements can apply for On My Way Pre-K, the state’s early learning program that awards grants to 4-year-olds from low-income families. Eligible children must be 4 by Aug. 1 to attend pre-K. Click here to learn more. |
