Enrollment Up In Findlay Preschool Classes

8/16/17 – 7:07 A.M.

The school year begins today with higher enrollment in the Findlay City School district’s preschool program and a blended online and in-person learning program. The Courier reports both programs are using expanded space in the former Washington Administration building.

The Findlay Learning Center had 37 students enrolled last year. That number is expanding to between 70 and 75 students this year. At the same time, the Washington pre-school will have nine half-day classes, up from six a year ago. The district says there is a waiting list to get into the preschool program.

Findlay was able to add more preschool classes thanks to financial support from the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation and the United Way of Hancock County. The groups pledged $640,000 for two years to help support expanding the preschool program.
