Benchmarks of High-Quality Pre-K

On our May 2007 call, we discussed the key ingredients of high-quality pre-kindergarten programs and how they can be achieved and maintained. Bob Pianta and Barbara Bowman each spoke on research into the quality factors proven to impact and improve outcomes for children in pre-k. Kim Means of the National Association for the Education of Young Children moderated the call and outlined her organization's accreditation system and advocacy for high-quality programs.
