Benefits of Pre-K Education

 Pre-K benefits children, their families, and their communities.  From improved academic outcomes to the economic savings to schools and states, the benefits of high-quality Pre-K are irrefutable.

     Pre-K increases high school graduation rates.

     Pre-K helps children do better on standardized tests.

     Pre-K reduces grade repetition.

     Pre-K reduces the number of children placed in special education.

     Pre-K reduces crime and delinquency.

     Pre-K lowers rates of teen pregnancy.

     Pre-K leads to greater employment and higher wages as adults.

     Pre-K contributes to more stable families.

     STRONGER COMMUNITIES

            Every $1 invested in high quality Pre-K saves taxpayers up to $7.

Pre-K results in savings by reducing the need for remedial and special education, welfare and criminal justice services, according to a number of studies.

Pre-K improves efficiency and productivity in the classroom.

Children who attend Pre-K have more advanced skills in areas such as following directions, problem solving, and joining in activities, all of which allow teachers to spend more time working directly with children and less on classroom management.
