Several Cities Expand Subsidized Preschool But Fees Remain Out of Reach for Most Middle Class Ohioans

By Lauren Fisher, the Ohio Center for Investigative Journalism, Eye on Ohio.com and Lillian Mongeau, The Hechinger Report | October 22, 2018

After her son couldn’t qualify for a local Head Start program because of the family’s annual income, Lynsi McKinney needed new options. McKinney, a stay-at-home mom in Southeast Ohio, eventually connected with a private, Christian school for 4 and 5-year-olds. But the family felt squeezed by the hefty price tag. “If money wasn’t an issue, we would continue sending him to a private Christian school,” McKinney said. “We fell in love with the educational opportunities and with the Christian background.”

By the end of the first year, she was impressed by the progress her son was making — he was able to recognize every letter in the alphabet and had basic counting and geography skills.
