Lockwood, Montana, long a preschool proponent, beefs up its program with a state grant

Lockwood is one of a handful of school districts in Montana that have put money from their K-12 budget into preschool.

This year, a state grant allowed them to double down at a time when their previous program landed on the chopping block.

Lockwood began the school year with an 18-student, full-day, five-day-per-week preschool classroom, funded by the state’s new STARS grant program. Additional funding let the school add another classroom in January.
