  4. National Perspective on State-funded Preschool for 3 Year Olds A Look at the NIEER 2015-2016 Yearbook

  5. State of Preschool Yearbook • Source: The State of Preschool 2016, The National Institute of Early Education Research (NIEER) http://nieer.org/state-preschool-yearbooks/yearbook2016 • State-funded preschool is funded, controlled, and directed by the state; not primarily designed to serve children with special needs; distinct from subsidized child care; may include some HS if state significantly supplements and assumes some administrative responsibility

  6. National Picture: How many states serve 3 year olds? • 44 states (including DC) have state-funded preschool • 29 states (including DC) enrolled 3 year olds during the 2015-16 school year • Almost 5% of 3 year olds were served in state-funded preschool • Only 7 states served at least 10% of 3 year olds (DC, Vermont, Illinois, New Jersey, Arkansas, Nebraska, West Virginia)

  7. 3 Year Old State-funded Preschool Over Time *In 2015-16, New York served 1% of 3 year olds; 50% of 4 year olds

  8. What about quality? • Quality defined: ELD Standards, curriculum supports, teacher qualification, teacher training, assistant teacher qualification, staff professional development, class size, staff/child ratios, screening and referral, meals, monitoring • Only 5 states (Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, Rhode Island, West Virginia, plus one specific program in Louisiana) met all 10 preschool quality benchmarks • New York met 7

  9. NY Met 7 Quality Benchmarks
