If you have a preschool-aged child and are wanting them to attend South Harrison Community School Corporation, now is the time to apply - especially if you’re looking for financial assistance. Our state-funded preschool program, On My Way Pre-K, is accepting applications, and we want to make sure every eligible family has the information they need to apply.
Preschool Program Options
1. On My Way Pre-K (State-Funded Program)
This program provides free, high-quality preschool for children who meet eligibility requirements. To qualify, your child must:
Be 4 years old by August 1, 2025 but not 5 years old;
Live in Indiana; and
Be from a household that meets income eligibility guidelines.
You can learn more and apply at: On My Way Pre-K Info & Application.
2. Jumpstart Preschool (Harrison County Community Foundation Partnership)
For families who do not qualify for On My Way Pre-K but still need financial assistance, Jumpstart provides another opportunity. The program follows the same curriculum and expectations as On My Way Pre-K; however, the eligibility is determined after applying to On My Way Pre-K.
3. Tuition-Based Preschool
South Harrison also offers a paid preschool option for families not needing assistance. To learn more or ask about tuition rates, please contact Diane Owen at owend@shcsc.k12.in.us.
How to Apply
Step One: Apply for On My Way Pre-K
