The District of Columbia Council will hold public hearings for the FY2011 budgets of city agencies in April 2010.  Pre K for All DC is interested in how funds are allotted to the City's education agencies because of their direct impact on the city's children. Pre K for All invites all stakeholders in early childhood education to follow and participate in these hearings in order to ensure that all children in the District of Columbia have access to high quality early childhood learning opportunities.

This emergency act will fast track the implementation of the landmark Pre-K Enhancement and Expansion Act of 2008 that ensures that all three- and four-year-olds in the District of Columbia have access to high-quality pre-k programs by September 2014.
