Pre-K Leadership Report

“Windows of Opportunity: A Look at Pre-K on Long Island”

When Long Island returned over $11 million dollars out of $36 million it was offered to implement Universal Pre-K in 2007, The Early Years Institute embarked on a campaign to determine why, and how the $25 million we kept, was spent. The study was funded by the Rauch Foundation and conducted in cooperation with Eastern Suffolk BOCES, Western Suffolk BOCES and Nassau BOCES. To help interpret the study’s findings and implement recommendations, The Early Years Institute worked with BOCES to create the Pre-K Leadership Forum, chaired by Roger Tilles of the New York State Board of Regents.

The two-year study of Pre-K on Long Island shed light on why 65 districts did not implement Pre-K and how 53 districts overcame those obstacles. It also highlights areas of concern and innovative practices to learn from.
