An Act Regarding Public Preschool Programs Serving Children Who Are 3 Years Of Age

Summary

The act expands Maine's public preschool system by defining eligible programs and authorizing start‑up grant funding for schools that add or expand preschool for 3‑ and 4‑year‑old children. Grants prioritize districts without existing preschools and those serving higher numbers of economically disadvantaged students, and include special funding for 3‑year‑olds with disabilities. The goal is to improve early‑learning access and coordination with other early‑childhood services.
