Young Children Enrolled (2005–2023)

Definition

Percent of children ages 3 to 4 years enrolled in a Pre-K program, including nursery school or preschool, during the previous three months. This indicator is stratified by Alaska Public Health Region.

"Nursery school" and "preschool" include any group or class at an institution providing educational experiences for children during the years preceding kindergarten. Places where instruction is an integral part of the program are included, but private homes that primarily provide custodial care are not included. Children enrolled in programs sponsored by federal, state or local agencies to provide preschool education to young children--including Head Start programs--are considered as enrolled in nursery school or preschool.
