The 17th edition of "The State of Preschool," the National Institute for Early Education Research's (NIEER) report on their annual survey of state preschool policies, provides government policymakers valuable information for planning short- and long-term responses to the crisis. The report includes information for every state on child enrollment, resources (including staffing and funding), and quality standards. It also provides information on where children are served, operating schedules, and other program features relevant to planning the education of children in a post-COVID-19 world. "The State of Preschool 2019" annual report finds leaders in state-funded preschool include both "Red" and "Blue" states, indicating preschool is one of few bipartisan issues. More children than ever were served in state-funded preschool during the 2018-2019 school year. However, increases from last year were small, leaving too many children behind. The current economic crisis threatens further advances in state preschool enrollment, funding, and quality. Support from the federal government is needed to help sustain current funding and enrollment levels and prevent the backslide seen after the Great Recession. This report shows just 34 percent of 4-year-olds and almost 6 percent of 3-year-olds were enrolled in state-funded preschool, little change over the last few years. State spending per child was flat since last year after adjusting for inflation. However, seven states made policy changes to gain an additional benchmark for minimum quality standards.
