  2. Welcome! Purpose: • To provide NYSED-funded 3 year old preschool administrators and teachers an opportunity to learn about child development and learning, explore the benefits of purposeful play, strengthen early learning and classroom instruction, consider next steps, and network with peers. • Increase understanding of key ideas that support quality programming for very young preschoolers and increase awareness of key resources and practical approaches to facilitate effective implementation.

  4. National Perspective on State-funded Preschool for 3 Year Olds A Look at the NIEER 2015-2016 Yearbook

  5. State of Preschool Yearbook • Source: The State of Preschool 2016, The National Institute of Early Education Research (NIEER) http://nieer.org/state-preschool-yearbooks/yearbook2016 • State-funded preschool is funded, controlled, and directed by the state; not primarily designed to serve children with special needs; distinct from subsidized child care; may include some HS if state significantly supplements and assumes some administrative responsibility

  6. National Picture: How many states serve 3 year olds? • 44 states (including DC) have state-funded preschool • 29 states (including DC) enrolled 3 year olds during the 2015-16 school year • Almost 5% of 3 year olds were served in state-funded preschool • Only 7 states served at least 10% of 3 year olds (DC, Vermont, Illinois, New Jersey, Arkansas, Nebraska, West Virginia)

  7. 3 Year Old State-funded Preschool Over Time *In 2015-16, New York served 1% of 3 year olds; 50% of 4 year olds

  8. What about quality? • Quality defined: ELD Standards, curriculum supports, teacher qualification, teacher training, assistant teacher qualification, staff professional development, class size, staff/child ratios, screening and referral, meals, monitoring • Only 5 states (Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, Rhode Island, West Virginia, plus one specific program in Louisiana) met all 10 preschool quality benchmarks • New York met 7

  9. NY Met 7 Quality Benchmarks
