INDIANAPOLIS – Children in 15 more Indiana counties will have access to pre-K starting in 2018.

Gov. Eric Holcomb announced additional counties that will participate in the On My Way Pre-K program.

The counties include: Bartholomew, Delaware, Howard, Grant, Madison, Monroe, and Tippecanoe among others.

The program will be available to 4-year-olds from low-income families. Earlier this year, the Indiana General Assembly expanded the program from five pilot counties to 20.
