School Readiness in Pennsylvania
A Long Way to Go
This year’s School Readiness report displays interesting dynamics: growth in both full-day kindergarten and pre-K indicates promising headway in making these proven programs available to children, yet at the same time greater reliance on public programs including child care subsidy and health coverage points to an escalation of families turning to the government for help in these lean economic times.
