This study from the Century Foundation is a two - part study, including «background on how universal pre-K programs fit into the national
landscape of early
childhood policy, outlines the main features of New York City's current UPK expansion efforts, and draws lessons for other cities and states interested in expanding their programs,» and «an in - depth look at the issue of preschool classroom diversity in UPK, highlighting the opportunities and obstacles for integration embedded in current
policies and recommending
policy changes to address this issue in New York City and beyond.»
By engaging in meaningful conversation, the goal of this session is to incite a broadening and deepening of our thinking and practice as early

policy makers who shape the educational
landscape for all children.
