School Readiness: High-Quality Early Learning Head Start $10.5 $9.5 $10.1 +$1.5 +17.7% $8.5 $7.5 +$2.1 +27.0% $6.5 for fiscal year 2010 Included in the budget is $1.078 billion to ensure that every Head Start program serves children for a full school day and a full school year, which research shows promotes better outcomes for young children. Children in Head Start programs that operate under the current minimums of 3.5 hours a day and 128 days a year receive less than half the program hours provided by the high-quality pre-kindergarten programs that have demonstrated stronger impacts. Currently, half of Head Start slots are in programs that operate a full school year, and about 40 percent of slots in the center-based and family child care program options are for less than a full school day. The overall increase also includes an additional $150 million to expand Early Head Start, including through the Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships. Preschool Development Grants A $500 million increase is proposed for Preschool Development Grants to fund a significant expansion that would allow the Department to make competitive awards to nearly every State that submits a high-quality application. This program, which is jointly administered with the Department of Health and Human Services, paves the way for the successful implementation of Preschool for All by creating or expanding high-quality preschool programs that serve 4-year-olds from low- and moderate-income families. $750 +$500 +200% First funded in FY 2014 under the Race to the Top authority. In FY 2015, funds were appropriated under the Fund for the Improvement of Education Budget Proposal: Preschool for All $1.3 billion in 2016, and a total of $75 billion over 10 years, in mandatory funding for Preschool for All to support the implementation of universal high-quality preschool programs that are aligned with elementary and secondary education systems and help ensure that all children arrive in kindergarten ready to learn. The proposal would help States serve all children from low- and moderate-income families, create an incentive for States to expand access to highquality preschool for additional middle-class families, and promote access to full-day kindergarten. $1.3 Sources: Budget data from the U.S. Department of Education Budget Service and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Budget.
