Pre-kindergarten programs have voluntary enrollments and, as a result, are funded through a patchwork of sources on a state-to-state and system-to-system basis. The benefits of funding these early intervention programs far outweigh the future cost in terms of education. We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars fixing children in later years who didn’t get that early support.

The money spent on pre-K is minimal compared to the amount spent in later years and significantly more effective. James Heckman, Noble Laureate in Economics in 2000 has quantified that savings by submitting that every dollar spent in early educational intervention saves $5 to $7 in future expenditures. Even with the tremendous savings that could be realized in later years, the National Institute of Early Education Research reports that only 24% of four year olds were enrolled in a pre-kindergarten program in 2008.

Pre-Kindergarten Is the New 1st Grade

“Children are being taught in Kindergarten the same skills that used to be taught in 1st grade. Pre-K is essential for the children that we serve because these at-risk children lack the necessary skills for entering Kindergarten and being successful, especially skills in literacy, language and vocabulary,” Ms. Mandi Walden, a pre-K teacher says. “In Pre-K we work on the 'whole' child by addressing things like the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical needs of each child. Kindergarten teachers say they can always tell the children that went through a Pre-K program because those children already know structure. They understand routines and schedules and they know how to get ready to learn.”
