Some Indiana lawmakers want to expand pre-K access to all children throughout the state. David Purpura, professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Science and director of the Center for Early Learning, said pre-K has long-term benefits for children. However, Indiana’s early learning programs can only serve about 61% of children who are eligible. “Indiana is one of the few states that doesn’t have a fully state-funded early childhood education program without significant restrictions,” Purpura said. #PurdueHHS #PurdueUniversity #EarlyChildhoodEducation #PreK #Education

"A recent law in CT is a model for other states to follow. This new Connecticut legislation requires public schools to provide play-based learning for kindergarten and preschool students, and requires boards of education to permit teachers to utilize play-based learning in first through fifth grades. Click here for more details on this new law and a flyer to share with teachers and parents. New clarification! This mandate applies only to public school classrooms, and not family child care nor other state funded sites receiving public funding, many of which are already required to use play based learning through their NAEYC Accreditation."

Pre-K is one of the most effective early learning strategies for our youngest Texans. Statewide assessments show that literacy proficiency sky-rockets for four year olds when they enroll in TX pre-K programs. These gains are critical for kindergarten readiness, third grade success, and high school graduation. Read Raise Your Hand Texas policy paper to learn why pre-K must be a priority in the 89th legislative session. #txed #txlege
High-quality pre-K has a remarkable impact on children’s reading skills. At the start of the 2022-23 school year, only 41% of pre-K students in Texas demonstrated reading proficiency. By the end of the school year, that number jumped to 83%. Through the development of emergent literacy skills, pre-K programs improve kindergarten readiness and create a foundation for long-term learning.
