New York Expands Preschool to all Four-Year-Olds

Early childhood education is a fundamental part of preparing children before they enter elementary school, but many times the children of the poorest families do not have access to this type of education. President Obama has proposed to expand free preschool programs to all children. Some states have gone ahead and offered this type of program to all. New York City has jumped on the bandwagon and will offer more than 50 new preschool spaces to four-year-olds beginning in September.

This report is part of American Graduate – Let’s Make It Happen! – a public media initiative to address the drop out crisis, supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
