Hello, I thought you would find the following article interesting. Link: http://www.plan4preschool.org/docs/single/strategic-pathways-toward-statewide-universal-pre-kindergarten-full-day-kin/ Download: http://www.plan4preschool.org/documents/pathways-upk-wa.pdf Abstract: Strategic Pathways Toward Statewide Universal Pre-Kindergarten & Full-Day Kindergarten in Washington State This brief reviews promising models in Washington state for achieving universal prekindergarten with high standards and professional compensation for teachers. We develop pathways for universalizing best practices for UPK. We present a continuum of education and care for children from infancy through kindergarten and a parallel continuum of professional development for their teachers and caregivers. Finally, we lay out possible routes for securing the public funding to make UPK a reality.
