Funding is used to help families whose income is up to 250% of the federal poverty guidelines with tuition for preschool that is not covered under Iowa Code chapter 256C, Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program for Four-Year-Old Children. Based on the board’s comprehensive needs assessment and community plan, the board can also fund supportive services for preschools. Children ages three, four or five, who are not attending kindergarten, are eligible.
