There are 9,200 three and four-year-old children in Cincinnati, nearly half live at or below the federal poverty level. As our children enter kindergarten, more than 40% of Cincinnati’s children are not prepared. The gap is even greater for low-income children. While there is some public funding preschool tuition assistance available, it is not sufficient to meet the demand. New preschool funding offered by the Cincinnati Preschool Promise will allow more children to attend quality preschool by making it more affordable for the families who need it most.
