2013 STATE PRESCHOOL YEARBOOK

The 2013 Yearbook examines the 2012-2013 school year as well as documenting a decade of progress since the first Yearbook collected data on the 2001-2002 school year.

Key Findings:

- Twenty-eight percent of America’s 4-year-olds were enrolled in a state-funded preschool program in the 2012-2013 school year, a percentage which has been unchanged for two years.

- The total number of children enrolled actually fell slightly, for the first time since the  National Institute for Early Education Research began tracking state-funded pre-K in 2001-2002.

- Funding is making a slow recovery as state emerge from the Great Recession.
