We are proud to present LI-RTAC’s Winter 2025 report, “Pathways to Progress: Strengthening the Universal Pre-K Landscape on Long Island”. We hope it will serve as a catalyst in supporting conversations, collaborations, and changes in policy and culture impacting our region’s early learners. The information captured is a window into key trends and recommendations for strengthening and growing Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) on Long Island.
This report is the culmination of the thoughtful conversations, insights and ideas so generously shared by our partners in education regarding issues directly impacting the success of UPK across our region. During the 2023-2024 school year, the LI-RTAC sponsored four roundtables designed to bring together stakeholders and practitioners in Early Childhood education to elicit their input. Participants included representation from school districts, community-based organizations and families. The LI-RTAC is immensely grateful for the broad participation and committed input provided during the roundtables.
