Pre-K Momentum Still Building
October 6, 2006
Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you had everything to do, and you've done it.
-Margaret Thatcher

An annual forecast prepared by Wilson Marketing Group, an early childhood database and market research firm, predicts that the school-based segment of the preschool market will continue to grow in 2007. According to the forecast, more states are expanding the supply of pre-k and placing greater emphasis on quality. This has driven state spending levels to new highs.

Wilson Marketing Group projects that state pre-k funding will increase 9.7 % to $4.6 billion in fiscal year 2007, once again growing at a higher rate than spending for K-12 education. State funding for pre-k has increased 109% since the turn of the century, compared to an estimated 42% increase for K-12 education. In 2007, 29 states plus the District of Columbia will increase pre-k spending.

A 20-page report on this annual forecast is available from the Wilson Marketing Group for $95.  For more information:  [email protected].
