An annual forecast prepared by Wilson Marketing Group, an early childhood database and market research firm, predicts that the school-based segment of the preschool market will continue to grow in 2007. According to the forecast, more states are expanding the supply of pre-k and placing greater emphasis on quality. This has driven state spending levels to new highs.

Wilson Marketing Group projects that state pre-k funding will increase 9.7 % to $4.6 billion in fiscal year 2007, once again growing at a higher rate than spending for K-12 education. State funding for pre-k has increased 109% since the turn of the century, compared to an estimated 42% increase for K-12 education. In 2007, 29 states plus the District of Columbia will increase pre-k spending.
