Why 4K?

Because decades of research have demonstrated conclusively:

• Children who attend high-quality pre-k have stronger social skills and reading and math scores.
• High-quality pre-k gives children a competitive edge.
• Business leaders across the country support pre-k as an economic improvement solution.
• Every $1 invested in high quality pre-k saves taxpayers up to $7 through significantly:
  • Higher earnings
  • Higher levels of home ownership
  • Fewer arrests
  • Higher levels of going to college
  • Fewer social services consumed
