A program to help bring preschool within the reach of low-income families is now available in all 92 Indiana counties. The On My Way Pre-K program continues enrolling students for the 2019-2020 school year.
To qualify, children must be four years old by August 1 and set to start kindergarten in 2020. Additionally, the family’s income must be below 127 percent of the federal poverty level, and parents or guardians must be working or going to school or job training. Families accepted into the program are able to choose from a list of approved childcare providers.
The Indiana Family & Social Services Administration encourages families to act quickly, since space is limited and school is about to begin. Applications are open year-round, but as of last week, more than half of the available slots had been filled, according to an FSSA press release.
Applications are available at OnMyWayPreK.org. Families may speak to an early learning referral specialist or get more information by calling 800-299-1627.
