Across the country, states and school districts are investing heavily in early childhood education, as they try to give children the foundational academic and holistic skills necessary to succeed in elementary school and beyond. Enrollment in these programs continues to climb. In this Essentials Forum, Education Week’s editorial team will explore the challenges that early childhood education programs face in nurturing young children’s abilities, as they transition from preschool to kindergarten to early grades of elementary school. We will draw from our reporting, as well as from original survey research taken of early childhood educators by the EdWeek Research Center, that examines the biggest challenges in supporting young children, from preschool through early grades elementary school.
