Fueled by mounting evidence that quality early education helps close the achievement gap, most states are increasing their investments in preschool programs for 3- and 4-year-olds. To help policymakers address the resulting need for new facilities, LISC’s Community Investment Collaborative for Kids partnered with Rutgers University’s National Institute for Early Education and Research to produce a policy brief on Building Early Childhood Facilities. The brief outlines strategies for successfully financing, designing and developing high quality preschool facilities. This is a summary of a more comprehensive report which lays out each strategy in more detail and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each policy option.
