A PreK-3rd approach connects and integrates the learning experiences of children ages three to eight, from PK through Grade Three. PreK-3rd is characterized by joint planning by teachers in and across these grades to provide a coherent, developmentally informed set of sequenced experiences for children from one school year to the next.

About the Project
The PreK-3rd Data Resource Center is an online resource center designed to expand the knowledge base and provide tools for the access and handling of Prekindergarten through Third Grade longitudinal data. The goal of this project is to inform the Foundation for Child Development's PreK-3rd initiative and build the research field by facilitating the analysis of rich, complex, longitudinal datasets that contain a wide range of variables on the child, family, school, and neighborhood. The Web site disseminates datasets and user guides developed to provide researchers with detailed guidance in creating their own extract datasets.
