Momentum is growing for programs like evidence-based home visits and high quality childcare and preschool. Vermont recently passed Act 166 in 2014 providing universal pre-kindergarten for all 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds, 10 hours per week during the academic year.  Full implementation of that law was delayed for a year, but Vermont is taking steps to even the playing field for children and their families who are shut out of opportunities to improve their economic mobility.
