It’s an exciting time for early learners and their families: PreK for All has expanded, making high-quality preschool more accessible than ever across Ingham County. This initiative ensures that nearly every 4-year-old has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive—right from the start.
Preschool is more than just playtime. Research shows that children who attend PreK build stronger social, emotional, and academic skills, entering kindergarten more confident and ready to learn. These early gains often lead to long-term success in school—and beyond.
And the benefits don’t stop with the students. PreK programs strengthen classrooms, reduce the need for additional support, and improve outcomes across school districts. When every child starts with a strong foundation, the entire community grows stronger.
How Families Can Get Ready Now:
Check Eligibility – More families qualify under the new expansion, even if they weren’t eligible before.
Gather Documents – Most programs request proof of residency, birth certificates, immunization records, and sometimes income information.
Stay Informed – Watch for enrollment announcements to apply as soon as applications open!
