Preschool Development Grants: Making a Difference for New Jersey's Young Learners. Executive Summary
Advocates for Children of New Jersey
In 2014, New Jersey was one of the 18 states awarded a federal grant aimed to enhance state preschool programs, improve quality and serve more eligible children in high-quality settings. This "Preschool Development Grant" (PDG) promised to provide the state with $17.5 million per year for four years, beginning on January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2018. Children from low-income families in 16 identified communities were eligible and would have access to the same high-quality preschool that children attending the state-funded preschools in other New Jersey communities were experiencing. This executive summary briefly highlights the impact of the program as described more thoroughly in the policy brief, "Preschool Development Grants: Making a Difference for New Jersey's Young Learners" (ED582217).
