Early results, based on data from the household survey, suggest that 4 - year - olds are more likely to be in «
formal» education and care settings (e.g., centers with classrooms, including Head Start,
public pre-K, community
preschool, and parochial
preschool) than are 3 - year - olds.
What combinations of
formal (such as
preschools, Head Start centers, and pre-K classrooms in
public schools) and informal care (such as care from relatives) are families using for their
preschool children?
