Every kindergarten student enrolled in a Hamilton County public school will receive a free pass to the Creative Discovery Museum, the county announced Wednesday.

The pass will allow the kindergartener and three guests unlimited entry to the children’s museum through the end of June.

“I don’t think there’s a simpler way for me to describe my job and the future of our county than to tell you and tell you again that what we’re willing to give to and invest in our youngest citizens is exactly what the future of our community is going to look like,” Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp said during the announcement. “We shouldn’t expect anything more in the future than what we’re willing to give to them.”

There are about 3,500 kindergarten students enrolled in Hamilton County public schools.
