preschool access
Early childhood entry
Preschool access refers to the availability of early childhood education programs for young children, typically ages three to five.
The term appears frequently in policy discussions about educational equity, since access varies widely by income, location, and family circumstances: The governor campaigned on expanding preschool access for low-income families.
Universal preschool access means making such programs available to all children regardless of economic status.
