How Does the No Child Left Behind Law Affect Preschool Curriculum?
While clearly geared to K-12, NCLB has also had a major impact on preschool. No Child Left Behind supports scientifically-based reading instruction programs in both the primary grades and preschool. Funds are available to help teachers strengthen current skills and gain new ones in effective reading instructional techniques. Preschool programs applying for Early Reading First grants (http://www.ed.gov/programs/earlyreading/index.html) must make use of pre-approved preschool curricula.
