Dear Neighbor:
Applications for the On My Way Pre-K program for the 2023-24 school year are now open. This is an excellent opportunity for 4-year-olds in low-income households to receive a prekindergarten education through Indiana’s only state-sponsored pre-k program.
Children who attend pre-k are more likely to have academic success throughout their lives and are more likely to go to college. Last year, over 6,200 children enrolled in the program, opening doors that will lead them to a lifetime of achievement.
If you would like to learn more about the program and apply, you can click here. Individual families, schools, and Indiana as a whole benefit when more children have access to a pre-k education, and I highly recommend eligible families to apply for this important and transformative program.
Sincerely,
Cherrish Pryor
State Representative
House District 92
