The Pew Charitable Trusts Advancing Quality Pre-K For All, Five Years Later

In September 2001, after looking carefully at the research base and the prospects for positive change, The Pew Charitable Trusts launched a national initiative with the ambitious goal of ensuring that every three- and four-year-old has access to a quality pre-K education, called Advancing Quality Pre-K For All.

Now, five years later, we want to take stock of where we've been, how our strategy has evolved, and what the future might hold. Many people have worked long and hard to create the pre-K movement in this country, a movement built on a long history of commitment to the issue. We have been privileged to work with many of these dedicated individuals and look forward to continued collaboration that will achieve more victories for children.
