UNIVERSAL PRE-KINDERGARTEN (PRE-K)

Universal Pre-K makes access to preschool education available to all children within the preschool age bracket – typically 3- and 4-year-olds. Researchers agree that brain development in children in the years leading up to kindergarten lays the foundation for their future success. Pre-K programs promote children’s age-appropriate educational experiences, including language development, early literacy skills, and cognitive, physical, and social skills.
