High-Quality Preschool for Every Child!
The Pima Early Education Program (PEEPs) is a countywide initiative designed to expand access to high-quality preschool for children ages 3-5 from low-income families while also strengthening the network of high-quality providers in Pima County. In its fourth year, the program served 1,552 children directly and, together with partner efforts, reached over 5,000 children system wide. Through local and federal funding, partnerships with school districts and community organizations, and support from the Accelerate Quality program, PEEPs is helping more families find affordable preschool, supporting providers in raising quality, and ensuring that children enter kindergarten ready to succeed.
