State Prekindergarten Programs:  A Decade of Progress

Tuesday, June 24, 2014

This webinar was the first of two webinars specifically designed for the Early Learning Fellows. Over a quarter of America’s 4-year-olds currently participate in a state-funded preschool program. Hear from Steve Barnett with the National Institute for Early Education Research about the key findings from the annual State Preschool Yearbook. Steve highlights the data and national trends for enrollment in, quality of, and spending on state-funded preschool programs. Learn about the decade of progress since the first Yearbook collected data on the 2001-2002 school year and the opportunities for improvements in quality and availability.
