Opportunities and Challenges for State Preschool Expansion

Authors in the latest issue of the State Education Standard “Preschool for All” detail how states have expanded access to quality early education, the research that supports these efforts, and the growing pains these initiatives are likely to experience.

They urge state leaders to prioritize access, quality, adequate funding, and continuous improvement to ensure that all children reap the benefits. J
