Extractions: Description In the early 1990s, Governor Zell Miller reviewed alarming statistics showing that students in Georgia had high rates of teen pregnancy and school dropout. Inspired by the knowledge that children with strong preschool experiences tend to be more successful in school and have higher self-esteem, he created the Georgia Voluntary Prekindergarten (Pre-K) Program. The Pre-K program provides young children with learning experiences that they need in order to succeed in future educational settings. All four-year-old children are eligible to participate in the free, statewide Pre-kindergarten program. In 1998, more than 60,000 children attended the voluntary Pre-K program at one of 1,600 sites in public and private settings. Partners History and Development In the early 1990s, Georgia Governor Zell Miller directed the Office of Planning and Budget, Department of Education, and Department of Human Resources to create a plan to provide Pre-K opportunities to at-risk four-year-olds. During the 1992-93 school year, a pilot program was established that served 750 at-risk four-year-olds at 20 public school sites. In 1993 the program added 167 new sites and served 8,700 children. In 1995, Governor Miller expanded eligibility to all four-year-old children regardless of income, tripling the number of children served from 15,500 in 1994 to 44,000.
