Making the Case for Pre-K

Education reform begins with high-quality preschool. When kids have access to pre-k and start school ready to learn, California's K-12 schools perform better and all of California benefits. 


Ready to Learn
High-quality preschool provides eager young learners with early academic and social skills that prepare them to be effective learners in kindergarten.

Ready to Read
Good reading skills are the foundation for all future learning. It’s best to build this foundation before kindergarten, in high-quality pre-k programs.

When Done Right, Pre-Kindergarten Is a Proven Investment in School Success
To assure kids are ready for school, California must invest in pre-k programs with well-trained, fairly compensated teachers. Teachers with the skills to create lively, enriching classrooms put kids on track for lifelong success.

Long-Term Benefits
When kids enter kindergarten ready to succeed, the benefits spread rapidly to the K-12 education system, the economy, and public safety.
