Pre-K for All: New study recommends ways to bring universal quality to universal access.
As New York City’s Universal Pre-K for All (PKA) is consolidated into a single effort managed by the
Department of Education, a new study by Columbia University’s National Center for Children and
Families at Teachers College points to ways in which this ambitious effort can deliver more uniform
quality across the many programs serving young children, while still allowing providers to address the
specific needs of children.
