Universal preschool is a proposal that would use funding from the federal government to provide school to children before they reach Kindergarten. In the current U.S. public education system government funded school is guaranteed to all children from kindergarten to 12th grade. number of U.S. states use state tax revenue to fund part-time and full-time preschool for children between the ages of 3 and 5. Half of the states that offer pre-K programs limit enrollment to low-income children. Proponents that preschool is too expensive for most American families and according to The Chicago Child-Parent Center's Longitudinal Study children who attend preschool found on average that children make significant gains in cognitive, language and early math and reading skills. Opponents point to a 2005 study done by the RAND Corp. which showed “no significant impacts in education – in the short or long term.”

No, children should be allowed to be children at that age. They don't need to grow up so fast!
@95WXRDR5 days
The Federal government should not fund any school. It should be done on a state and local level.
No, kids need time to be kids before they are forced into a learning system. They are pushing it earlier and earlier.

Yes, but only with a play focused curriculum.
@95RV96N1wk

@95B22M53wks
No, education is a right that belongs to the states and so the government has no business being involved in it, much less at a non-necessary level like preschool
@959BP8X3wks

Yes, at a bare minimum, but money should be abolished, and all education should be free.
@94V43RW4wks
Yes, but don’t make preschool compulsory.
@94RWZT31mo
Yes, but funding should come from states and parents should be able to send their kids to private school.
@94RJ9VC1mo
No, that should be covered by the individual states.
@94KS5891mo
If the parent absolutley can not afford it
@94K5WRJ1mo
No, funding should come from the states via tax decreases or deductions (incentives) or vouchers for private, religious schools to provide preschool services to local communities.
Yes but control the number of schools. I would rather have larger schools but less in number to serve a city so the infrastructure overheads can be optimized. Then additional money can truly be directed towards improving the quality of education to make us more competitive compared to many other countries in the world like Singapore, Kores, Norway, etc.
No instead parents of children under 5 should be given 24k a year to use as they see fit.
@94G4JNT1mo
No. Parents of children below the age of 5 should be given $24k a year and if they want to spend that on daycare they can but they may also use it to allow one parent to stay home.
@94DNFRR1mo
No, education should not profited off of
@94D2PDQ1mo
Education should be decided based on state and local voter preferences and governments
@949RHJJ1mo
Pay mothers or fathers to stay home with their kids.
