This blog highlights a new GIS map focused on the accessibility of preK programs in Vermont. At a time when the funding of prekindergarten (preK) programs across the country is declining, Vermont lawmakers and state agencies are looking to understand how to improve universal preK programming in the state. R1CC worked with Vermont to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) map that presents information about preK availability across Vermont—a visual way to dig into some of the questions that can inform strategies to improve availability. The map provides key information related to preK availability and need in Vermont.
