Over 8,000 children have received tuition assistance at more than 178 eligible Cincinnati Preschool Promise approved and community-based, private, and public pre-schools. Learning does not stop at school. An extensive system of public libraries throughout Cincinnati, Ohio and Northern Kentucky are recognized as industry leaders in the library field.
