Preschool California is a nonprofit advocacy organization working to increase access to high-quality preschool for all of California’s children, starting with those who need it most. We bring together K-12 educators, policymakers, business leaders, parents, labor, law enforcement, faith-based institutions, community leaders, early care and education providers and others to achieve this goal.

Making the Case: High-quality preschool gets children ready to learn and ready to read. When done right it is a proven investment in school success.

Fact Sheets: To become a true preschool champion, you need to know the facts. 

National Landscape, State Preschool Efforts and California Communities: Compare pre-kindergarten at the statewide level in California to what’s happening in other states. Then, learn about the pre-kindergarten champions in your local area who are working hard to make effective and affordable pre-k programs available to more children and families. 

We look forward to working with you and other policymakers to implement policy that makes high-quality preschool programs available to all children in California, starting with those who need it most.
