Overview

In the southern part of Wells County, there are no preschools for the students that feed into our school district to attend. Therefore, our students are not as ready for Kindergarten as they should be. This has become increasingly more evident since COVID. READI funds will be used to repurpose a classroom in the high school to utilize as a preschool and early childhood education classroom for high school students. Construction is planned for March with the plan to open in August 2023. The school will use equity from existing school funds to pay for the reconstruction and materials of the room. We anticipate the preschool to be an On My Way Pre-K Level 3 program while beginning the transition to elementary school for our local students.
