Preschool Adequacy and Efficience in California: Issues, Policy Options, and Recommendations

by Lynn A. Karoly, Tom Latourrette, David E. Mosher

The California Preschool Study examined gaps in school readiness and achievement in the early grades among California children and the potential for high-quality preschool to close those gaps, the use of early care and education (ECE) services and their quality, and the system of publicly funded ECE programs for three- and four-year-olds. This analysis integrates the results from the prior studies and makes recommendations for preschool policy.
