ImpactTulsa is bringing back a door-knocking campaign designed to increase Pre-K enrollment in Tulsa Public Schools. The group first launched the initiative in 2019, raising enrollment above 2,600 students.

But by 2024, that number had fallen to 2,110 students. This year, ImpactTulsa hopes to help TPS enroll at least 2,172.

Why Pre-K matters

Ana Barros, ImpactTulsa’s director of collaboration and partnerships, said research shows early learning is critical to student success.

“What studies are showing is that actually sending your kids to school at four years old, not only are they ready, but they actually need that additional year in order to be prepared for kindergarten and beyond. So the impact is enormous as you look down the line,” Barros said.
