Let's Make It Happen
Universal
preschool is not an entirely new idea. Universal
preschool has been long established in other
industrialized nations, such as France, and has been
widely discussed among American early childhood
education experts.

State Level
At the state level, Georgia and New York already have
passed legislative measures aimed at
expanding the availability of preschool education. A
federally funded universal preschool
program could improve school readiness by making
preschool available to all children regardless of the
state or local community in which they live, and by
setting national standards
for program quality.

Availability
The universal preschool program would be available to
children age three to five in centers that
would be open from morning until late afternoon. The
hours of operation would be set to meet
the needs of working parents in the local community. |
