Abstract:

Reviews successful, promising models for universal pre-kindergarten and lays out possible avenues to secure public funding to make universal pre-kindergarten and full-day kindergarten available to every child. Explores pathways for promoting best practices, and presents a continuum of education and care for children from infancy through kindergarten alongside a parallel continuum of professional development for their teachers and caregivers.
