Options for investing in access to high-quality preschool in Cincinnati

Description:
Within this context, the goal of this report is to document the results of an interrelated set of research activities designed to inform the extent to which there is a need to expand access to high-quality preschool programs in Cincinnati and to examine policy options for making a highquality early learning experience more widely available on a targeted or universal basis. Specifically, we report on: an assessment of the current preschool landscape in Cincinnati, reflecting the number and composition of preschool-age children in the city; the supply of school- and center-based providers and their quality; and current federal, state, and local funding streams that subsidize ECE programs for preschool-age children; the perspectives of key stakeholders in Cincinnati, based on key informant interviews, regarding the current preschool landscape and options for future investment in preschool access and quality; a review of preschool initiatives implemented in other cities and states most relevant for Cincinnati, with lessons learned from implementing or expanding access to high-quality preschool education; an assessment of options for improving access to high-quality preschool in Cincinnati, with attention to potential funding streams, rollout options, governance models, data for monitoring and evaluation, and other supports necessary for the program to be successful and address anticipated challenges and risks.
