Pre-K Now

Description

From the website: Pre-K Now is a public education and advocacy organization that advances high-quality, voluntary pre-kindergarten for all three and four year olds. Supported by The Pew Charitable Trusts and other funders and a project of the Institute for Educational Leadership. Our mission is to collaborate with advocates and policymakers to lead a movement for high-quality, voluntary pre-kindergarten for all three and four year olds. The goal of Pre-K Now is to advance high-quality pre-kindergarten programs for all children. We pursue this goal by: providing financial and technical assistance to advocates and other leaders in targeted states to create and fund new public pre-kindergarten programs or to improve the quality of and access to existing programs; strengthening the capacity and skills of early childhood advocates and state leaders to secure policy changes and funding; and waging a targeted campaign to educate and mobilize key sectors of the public and policymakers at the state and national level about the severity of the American school readiness problem and the potential that high-quality pre-kindergarten for all has for addressing the problem and boosting K-12 student achievement for all children.
