Too few children in Flagstaff have equitable access to high-quality preschool. This condition is unsatisfactory and is an obstacle for advancing world-class education for every child in Flagstaff. See the data here.
Expanding preschool opportunities will certainly produce benefits that exceed its costs. We estimate a local return of $16 for each $1 invested in the preschool expansion project. Read our report here.
LAUNCH Flagstaff has cultivated the initial community infrastructures and political will to pilot a collectively-funded project that provides high-quality, full-day, year-round preschool for children who are not otherwise being served in existing preschool sites. We are on track to seat the first class of students in fall 2020. See the roadmap outlining how we’ll get there.
