With more than half the available slots already filled, it is important to apply now for On My Way Pre-K, Indiana’s early learning program. Applications are still being accepted from eligible families throughout the state for this school year.
On My Way Pre-K provides grants to 4-year-olds from low-income families to attend a high-quality pre-K program. Nearly 8,000 young Hoosiers have benefited from the program since its creation in 2015.
To apply, families must meet the following eligibility requirements:
  • Their child must be 4 years old by Aug. 1, 2019, and starting kindergarten in the 2020-21 school year;
  • Parents or guardians in the household must be working, going to school or attending job training; and
  • The family must have an income below 127 percent of the federal poverty level.
With school starting and limited spots remaining, I encourage families to act quickly to see if their children are eligible.
