Closer to Home: More Equitable Pre-K Access and Enrollment in Chicago. Findings from this study show that improving access to full-day pre-K programs may be an effective policy strategy for increasing enrollment among high-priority student groups and making educational opportunities more equitable. The study also explores the role of neighborhoods in understanding how pre-K access and enrollment varied. Examining neighborhood characteristics is important for informing policy decisions about how to most equitably and efficiently allocate services, supports, and resources.


The findings from this study of Chicago’s efforts offer key insights for other school districts implementing similar policies nationwide.
