States and school districts are using pre-k as the foundation for their education reform strategies, because its benefits multiply when aligned with other effective reforms. ❋ Emi Kolawole (2011)
According to the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, there were enough slots this year among traditional public and charter schools, community-based organizations participating in the Child Care Subsidy Program, and private providers to provide services child care or pre-k to every child seeking services ages 3 or 4. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Moreover, we know exactly how to implement high-quality pre-k programs. ❋ Elaine Weiss (2012)
Deep cuts in education funding that lead to fewer kids getting quality pre-k and fewer students attending college are one mechanism through which that can happen. ❋ Ezra Klein (2011)
Trying to find a pre-k for my little one as well, interviewing schools, and looking for all of the immunization records (which are never where I thought they would or should be) ❋ Unknown (2009)
But one rigorous study provides both of these metrics for comparison: Arthur Reynolds, Judy Temple and colleagues' Age-28 study of graduates of Chicago Child Parent Centers, a high-quality pre-k program set in the Chicago public schools. ❋ Elaine Weiss (2012)
Decades of research demonstrate that high-quality pre-k produces short- and long-term impacts in academic performance, especially among low-income children. ❋ Emi Kolawole (2011)
But late last month, Janet Doman was a guest for a podcast on the BAM Radio Network, an online education channel for pre-k and elementary school educators. ❋ Lisa Guernsey (2011)
Similarly, investments in “greening” existing school facilities to reduce their energy consumption will produce substantial, ongoing savings that school districts can use to fund pre-k, increased teacher compensation, and other educational programs. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Would you enroll your child in an intensive pre-k? ❋ Unknown (2009)
Given Chetty et al's contention that a $182 increase merits policymaker attention, pre-k programs like the Chicago Child-Parent Centers should command it. ❋ Elaine Weiss (2012)
And now that I have hopefully fed your ego properly, back off to my new (still temp) gig producing content for the pre-k crowd. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Roth's mentor -- a huge inspiration for and supporter of this book, Norman Bridwell -- is the creator of Clifford The Big Red Dog (and don't think for a moment I don't hold him responsible for my being called that throughout pre-k and kindergarten!). ❋ Unknown (2010)
She told us that when she was four years old she decided she wanted to attend first grade in the local elementary school (there was no kindergarten or pre-k at the time). ❋ Unknown (2010)
'When we got here there were lots of pre-k classes that weren't full,' she said. ❋ Unknown (2010)
