Recent increases in proposed state legislation that allows FCC inclusion in pre-K indicate that many states have an interest in including FCC educators. To update our data on FCC inclusion for this report, we followed up with states in the 2022-2023 school year to learn more about whether the perceived interest and proposed legislation surrounding the inclusion of FCC in pre-K programs was translating into actual participation. In addition, we wanted to see if the percentage of children enrolled in this type of setting had changed since the 2020-2021 school year. We also wanted to review funding levels and how state dollars flowed to FCC sites. Finally, we were curious about the degree to which policies identified in the Conditions for Success were being met. In the spring and summer of 2023, we reached out to state leaders to identify the degree to which FCCs participated in state pre-K programs (see Appendix A: Methodology Notes). The following tables outline the data answering these questions and provide a starting point for interested parties to understand what FCC inclusion rates and participation were in the 2022-2023 school year.
