Early Care and Education: The
Keystone of Pennsylvania's Future: Preparing Our
Children for Success
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
The Governor's Task Force on Early Childhood Care and Education
Quality Study
This report constitutes the second
in a series of two reports published by the Governor's Task
Force on Early Childhood Care and Education. The 34-member Task
Force, created by Executive Order 2-2002, was charged by
Pennsylvania Governor Mark Schweiker with examining the full range
of proven, evidence-based school readiness strategies available
for early childhood care and education targeted at children age
0-8 and the existing Commonwealth services available to that age
group. The Universities Children's Policy Collaborative (UCPC),
comprised of researchers from Pennsylvania State University,
Temple University and University of Pittsburgh, conducted
comprehensive and Pennsylvania-specific research to support the
work of the Task Force.  |
