Tempe PRE: Insights into a New Publicly Funded Preschool Program
Visual Brief
NORC evaluated Tempe, Arizona’s Tempe PRE, a $6 million, two-year, pilot preschool program housed within classrooms of two of Tempe’s school districts.
The free, full-day program increased kindergarten readiness and expanded opportunities for parents to obtain more employment, training, and education, our evaluation found. NORC’s evaluation allowed Tempe to demonstrate the program’s success to its city council, which then committed more funding for the program. The program’s partners are now sharing their insights and the evaluation results with other cities.
