Why PreK for All?
Doggett, Libby; Wat, Albert
Phi Delta Kappan, v92 n3 p8-11 Nov 2010
High-quality prekindergarten programs not only are important for decreasing the school-readiness gaps between low-income and middle-income children, they also benefit wealthier children and decrease dropout and retention rates. Thus, in the last decade, many states have committed resources to providing high-quality preK programs for all children, not just low-income children. Recent economic and political conditions threaten these programs. Both policy makers and educators should work to provide high-quality preK programs for all children.
