Key Points
- At least 36 other states provided state-funded pre-K for a higher percentage of 4-year-olds in the 2021-2022 school year.
- Three quarters of Indiana’s counties are only able to serve at best half of the children who need early child care or education due to capacity shortages.
- At least 10 counties do not have a provider that accepts children using state preschool grants listed on the state’s child care-finder portal.
Indiana’s state-funded pre-K program still serves a smaller percentage of children than a majority of other states
