Massachusetts H606 aims to expand access to universal prekindergarten by adjusting enrollment calculations and establishing grant programs.

Massachusetts H606 amends the state's general laws to enhance access to universal prekindergarten. It modifies the calculation of pre-school enrollment for funding purposes, doubling the number of students in half-day programs. The bill also establishes a grant program for school districts to develop and implement full-day pre-kindergarten programs. These programs must meet specific criteria, including a child-to-instructor ratio of no more than 10 to 1 and a class size of no more than 20 preschool students.
