All 3- and 4-year-old children within those districts are eligible to participate. 2 Due to a change in regulations from the Department of Children and Families, the before- and after-care program moved to a voucher system. As a result of this change, providers are only required by the Department of Education to provide a 6-hour educational program for the 180 day academic year. Providers can choose to operate a before- and after-care program and/or a full-year (245 day) program. If they chose to do so, all children meeting income requirements are paid for through the DCF. 3 Assistant teachers in public schools supported by Title I funding must meet the education/degree requirements specified in NCLB. 4 Dental screenings and referrals are determined locally. Support services include parenting support or training, parent involvement activities, health services for children, information about nutrition, referral to social services, and transition to kindergarten activities.

All 3- and 4-year-old children within those districts are eligible to participate. However, the program is only open to 3-year-olds once the district has offered full-day kindergarten to all ageeligible children, and either half- or full-day preschool to all 4-year-olds. 2 Half-day programs must be at least 2.75 hours per day; full-day programs must be at least 6 hours per day. Length of program day varies by districts. In some cases, both half- and full-day programs are offered. 3 Assistant teachers in public schools supported by Title I funding must meet the education/degree requirements specified in NCLB. 4 Beginning July 1, 2008 the maximum class size changed to 18 and the staffchild ratio requirement changed to 1:9. 5 Dental screenings and referrals are determined locally. Support services include education services or job training for parents, parent involvement activities, and transition to kindergarten activities. 6 Meals are required in full-day programs. 7 This figure is an estimate of state funds directed to services for preschool-age children. 97
