INDIANAPOLIS (MIRROR INDY) — Martin University is launching a free preschool program for kids who are 3 and 4 years old. 

Martin University already offers free child care for its students, many of whom are parents. The preschool, however, is open to everyone.

As a part of the school’s Pre-K Care & Learning Center, the preschool will be located at Martin’s campus at 2186 N. Sherman Drive.
