Research plays a big role in Pre-K Now's efforts to inform key leaders and the public about the benefits and need for high-quality pre-kindergarten programs, but it only takes our movement so far. Stories told on the human scale, about the personal side of pre-k - your stories - are essential. They make the facts and research come to life, especially for policymakers and the media.

We invite you to tell us your story, whether it's about your own experience as a pre-k student, your pre-k hopes for your children, or your work as an educator, advocate, or policymaker to promote pre-k for all.

What is your story?

• Has pre-k benefited you or your child?

• What differences do you see between children who have had quality pre-k and those who haven't?

• Are there barriers that kept you or someone you know from having access to pre-k programs?
