The Pew Charitable Trusts

The Pew Charitable Trusts' Advancing Quality Pre-K for All initiative seeks to advance high-quality pre-k for all the nation's three and four year olds through objective, policy-focused research, state public education campaigns, and national outreach. To date, Pew has invested more than $50 million to support partners who have worked nationally and with local groups in over half the states on behalf of pre-kindergarten education.
