Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–May 3, 2013. Compared to other developed nations, the United States lags far behind on preschool access, quality, and investment, according to a new analysis released yesterday by the Center for American Progress. The United States enrolls only 69 percent of 4-year-old children in early education, trailing more than two-dozen countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. America also lags behind in 3-year-old preschool participation, the typical age children begin early childhood programs, our teacher-to-child ratios, and our investment in early childhood.
