Giving children high-quality PreKindergartenl is the first step in the journey to school success. The next steps – – Kindergarten through 3rd Grade – – are equally important.
Over the past decade, New Jersey has made great progress in providing quality preschool to lowincome children. Now, the state and school districts must advance efforts to continue this quality early learning through 3rd Grade so that every child is reading on grade level by this time.
