Description:
This annual report examines access to, quality standards in, and resources devoted to state-funded preschool programs for 3- and 4-year-old children during the 2013-2014 school year. It is based on a survey of administrators of state-funded preschool programs. The report includes profiles for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and United States territories. Key findings include a slight overall increase in public prekindergarten enrollment of 8,535 children from the previous year, which brings total enrollment to more than 1.3 million children, or 32.4 percent of 4-year-olds and 7.4 percent of 3-year-olds. Mississippi became the first state in four years to create a new program. Six programs met all 10 quality benchmarks identified in the yearbook. State funding increased by more than $116 million across the country.
