The article looks at the universal pre-kindergarten movement in California. Preschool activist Rob Reiner is pushing for a proposed measure that would guarantee access to preschool for every child in California. Florida, Oklahoma, Georgia, and New York offer universal preschool programs. The push for early childhood education comes from research on the cognitive and emotional development of children. The Perry Preschool study showed the advantages of preschool among poor children. The universal pre-kindergarten movement has created a media campaign to promote the benefits of early learning.
