From 2012 to 2013, Iowa expanded enrollment of state-funded preschool to more than 3,000 4-year-olds and 400 3-year-olds. Today, the Iowa Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program currently serves 60 percent of 4-year-olds and 4 percent of 3-year-olds, and 2,355 children under the age of three are enrolled in Early Head Start. Additionally, the average annual cost of center-based infant care in the state is $9,053. Democrats in the state legislature are eager to continue expanding access to early childhood education.
