[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that there were enough pre-k spaces in for all children.  I'm a little at a loss as to why 3 and 4 year olds would need to travel across town to schools for pre-k.

Pre-k is highly regulated throughout the the system and inspected.  The building might look different, but the kids have the same food and the same classroom resources. There are also great pre-k teachers working across all wards.

Also some of these schools have resources for the parents like GED courses.

Kids are not behind in pre-k.   Wrap around services need to be strengthened at each school - healthcare, adult education, job counseling. There's already early stages seats for students that can't get special services.

This isn’t just about pre-k. it is about getting at risk kids into higher performing schools all the way through.

The achievement gap is present in preschool, actually.  It shows up clearly in the research and is glaringly obvious at my DD's school.

It is also well borne out in national reserch. Google million word gap.[/quote]
