Preschool For All Investing In A Productive And Just Society

The development & education of all children from the earliest stages of their lives must be a national priority. This report takes aim directly at the educational needs of children age 3 & up who have not yet entered kindergarten (K). Pre-K children have much greater capacity to learn than was previously realized. The U.S. must acknowledge society's stake in & responsibility for early educ. by making publicly-funded pre-K available to all preschool children whose parents want them to enroll. States should take the organizational lead in tying diverse providers into coherent systems of early educ. Financial responsibility for pre-K should be equally shared by the Fed. & state governments.
