Join the Kinder Institute's Houston Education Research Consortium for a conversation highlighting recent pre-K research. Recognizing the importance of early educational opportunities in children's later educational success, HERC will share how public pre-K has evolved in the Houston region, particularly in light of legislation passed in recent years to increase access to high-quality pre-K. HERC will also discuss the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on pre-K enrollment.

This event is geared toward school leaders, community organizations, policymakers and individuals in the Houston area who are interested in learning more about what pre-K looks like in our region and what pre-K programs mean for students.
