Strategies to foster integration in early childhood education

Description:

This report explores five policy strategies that foster integration rather than segregation:

  1. Establish universal ECE programs where age is the only requirement, so that family income does not determine where a child can enroll.
  2. Braid public funding or combine funding streams from various sources to enable children from different socioeconomic backgrounds to learn in the same classroom.
  3. Allow tuition-paying families to enroll in public programs while reserving seats for families with low incomes.
  4. Attract families across neighborhoods or district boundaries.
  5. Create two-way dual language immersion programs (programs that offer instruction in two languages). (author abstract)
