Summary: This Microsoft PowerPoint addresses the following issues concerning prekindergarten: (1) financing, (2) parent payments, (3) qualifications and compensation for teachers, (4) relationships between pre-K teachers and other staff, (5) ongoing training for teachers, (6) relationship with school district, (7) transition to kindergarten, (8) children with special needs, (9) curriculum and assessment, and (10) community planning and coordination. Thirty-nine States invest in pre-K. About 25 percent of State pre-K children are served in settings outside the public schools. Allowing child care centers to offer pre-K has several benefits: (1) full-day care for working parents, (2) space when schools are crowded, and (3) preschoolers and their younger siblings can be served at the same location.
