INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO) – Eligible Indiana families can enroll their kids in state-sponsored Pre-K programs across the state.

Low income Hoosier families are encouraged to act quickly to see if they can enroll their 4 year-olds as soon as August.

State law recently expanded the On My Way Pre-K program statewide. The program has served 8,000 families and prepared their children for kindergarten, at no charge.

Research from the Indiana Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning suggests that students who have passed through the program are better prepared for learning, and experience fewer behavior problems.
