In Kansas, 3,663 children under the age of three are enrolled in Early Head Start. Twenty-one percent of 4-year-olds are enrolled in state-funded pre-K and the Four-Year Old At-Risk program continues to provide high-quality early learning experiences for children the year before kindergarten. Kansas is also in its ninth year of the Kansas Preschool Program (KPP), which used the first seven years of the program to gather data from the Pre-K Pilot and KPP Practitioner Group to create a model that would allow children to enter kindergarten even more prepared. The average annual cost of center-based infant care in the state is $10,518.
