TULSA, Okla. -

Community leaders in Tulsa are working to get more children enrolled in pre-K after enrollment numbers fell this year.

Impact Tulsa reports that pre-K enrollment dropped from more than 2,600 students to about 2,100.

In response, volunteers with the group spent the day going door-to-door to remind families that pre-K is free and available to every child in Oklahoma.

The campaign is part of a broader effort to raise awareness about the importance of early education and to ensure families know how to access available resources.

Officials say boosting pre-K enrollment is critical to preparing students for success in kindergarten and beyond.
