²ÝÝ®´«Ã½

In 2014, ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ was one of 18 states awarded federal Preschool Expansion Grants, designed to expand public preschool opportunities to more low and moderate-income children and their families. This project examined the reach, impact, and overall satisfaction with ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½'s pre-kindergarten expansion efforts. CECEI²ÝÝ®´«Ã½™s evaluation addressed a range of questions related to the effectiveness of the preschool expansion from both a descriptive and an explanatory perspective.
