Women United led the fight for pre-K expansion by attending numerous rallies and hosting events to educate our community on the importance of pre-K. Together, they secured and delivered over 500 letters to our legislators in support of the pre-K expansion bill. Now, more low-income children will have access to high-quality pre-K education, but the fight has just begun for the 27,000 low-income children in Central Indiana.
Preparing children for a successful future begins by providing them with the proper tools and resources. As part of this mission, Women United delivered over 1,000 literacy kits to more than 30 Central Indiana childcare centers in 2016. Women United is also on the forefront of improving childcare centers, including projects from painting and building furniture to facilitating reading circles.
