Tempe PRE: Insights into a New Publicly Funded Preschool Program
July 2024
NORC’s evaluation of a city-funded pilot preschool program is summarized in a visually compelling policy report that includes graphics and quotes from parents and teachers that add richness to the findings.
NORC evaluated Tempe, Arizona’s Tempe PRE, a $6 million, two-year, pilot preschool program housed within classrooms of two of Tempe’s school districts.
The free, full-day program increased kindergarten readiness and expanded opportunities for parents to obtain more employment, training, and education, our evaluation found. NORC’s evaluation allowed Tempe to demonstrate the program’s success to its city council, which then committed more funding for the program. The program’s partners are now sharing their insights and the evaluation results with other cities.
