In 2004, CLASP surveyed states with mixed-delivery pre-kindergarten programs to understand the policy choices, opportunities, and challenges of including community-based child care providers in their pre-k programs. For more information, please see All Together Now: State Experiences in using Community-Based Child Care to Provide Pre-Kindergarten, a report with national findings, and the accompanying policy brief that summarizes the findings. This work is made possible by the generous support of the Joyce Foundation.

Below are individual detailed descriptions of each of the 28 states’ responses to the CLASP survey on the state policies used to integrate pre-kindergarten into community-based child care settings.  The data reflect state pre-k programs as of 2004, when the survey was administered. For more information about a particular state, please contact Danielle Ewen at dewen@clasp.org.
