Seattle will roll out a voter-approved pilot preschool program this fall. It will cost property owners $54 million over four years. The program aims to narrow the opportunity and achievement gap by ensuring students start kindergarten ready to learn. Supporters say teachers will benefit as well. How will city leaders select preschools and 3- and 4-year-old students to participate in the program? What's the application process? What are the measures of success? We examine the Seattle Preschool Program and its steep learning curve.
