Child Care Information Exchange reprints the Education Week report without even a comment that 3-4 year olds in high quality child care are receiving Pre-K?!?This "pre-K" data is inaccurate and divisive in our field as it doesn't include the children receiving high quality pre-K in child care programs. Reprinting these percentages without comment plays into the confusion parents and the public have about high quality child care and "Pre-K." The number of 3-4 year olds in Accredited child care programs and in highly rated programs in states with Quality Rating Systems, along with Head Start and school district based Pre-K, would provide the accurate state by state percentage of kids receiving pre-K education.
