As state-funded pre-K programs expand--more than 1 million children currently attend such programs--there is debate about the impact of state-funded pre-K on the quality and supply of child care for low-income working families. This policy brief looks at state policies and regulations regarding pre-K expansion that have the potential to positively impact child care quality and access for low-income working families. (Contains 4 figures, 4 tables and 82 endnotes.)
