If you have advanced to Level 3 or Level 4 in Paths to QUALITY™, you may consider applying to participate in the On My Way Pre-K initiative. Families who receive these scholarships must choose an OMWPK program, so this is a good way to get your program’s name in front of potential families. OMWPK providers also receive guaranteed tuition reimbursement for each OMWPK child, plus 10% for the work you put in for administration.
Child care is expensive and you are in a unique position to help families seek assistance. You can provide tools and resources for families who may quality for both CCDF and On My Way Pre-k.
