>Report grades N.J. on preschool efforts
New Jersey continues to lead the nation in providing high-quality preschool to low-income children, but has lost ground on ensuring that all at-risk children receive this early start to learning, according to a national report released Tuesday.
The report — The State of Preschool 2011: State Preschool Yearbook — found that New Jersey moved up to second nationally for its enrollment of 3-year-olds in high-quality preschool. (Staff, Gannett)
