Report on the Expenditure of Lottery Funds Fiscal Year 1997

The PreKindergarten Program

Pre-K Programs as a Percentage of the FY97 Lottery Budget

Prekindergarten for Four-Year Olds

Established in 1993, the Georgia Prekindergarten Program provides educational experiences for Georgia’s four-year-olds and prepares them for kindergarten. This statewide prekindergarten program reaches a higher proportion of four-year-old children than does any similar program in the nation. The program operates on the regular school system calendar for the length of a typical school day. The program is free for participants.

The program has received nationwide attention and is considered a model for other statewide prekindergarten programs. Recent evaluations have shown the effectiveness and quality of the program. (For more information on the program’s impact, see the Council for School Performance report, Quality and Effectiveness of Pre-Kindergarten Programs in Georgia: Parental Perspectives.)

The program continues to grow after four years of operation, currently serving nearly 57,000 four-year-olds in fiscal year 1997. Originally, the program served "at-risk" four-year-olds, but now aims to serve all four-year-olds in Georgia. Figures 5 and 6 show the growth in allocations and the number of children served over time.

Figure 5. Allocations for Prekindergarten by Year

Figure 6. Children Served by Prekindergarten by Year

In the fourth year of operation, the program has the lowest per child expenditure. This probably reflects economy of scale--the program serves more children than ever. Figure 7 shows how the cost per child has changed from year to year.

Figure 7. Prekindergarten Program Per Child Expenditure By Year

Prekindergarten programs are located in many different settings. They are in schools, YMCAs, child care centers, churches, and other organizations. School systems, government agencies, private not-for-profit agencies, and private for-profit agencies are eligible for funding. Tables 24-25 show expenditures by sponsoring program.
