A long-term study released last year by Purdue University showed that children who attend On My Way Pre-K are better prepared for school and that the benefits continue well into elementary school. The study also showed that the program helps families become more economically self-sufficient by giving parents opportunities to get a job, work more hours or start school or a training program. More than two-thirds of parents reported to researcher that they were very satisfied with the program.
