Abstract: Universal prekindergarten initiatives have increased at the local and state levels. With the goals of supporting children's development and increasing families' access to high-quality, affordable early learning opportunities, prekindergarten programs have gained political support and funding. Approaches to program design and implementation vary widely by locale. While some programs prioritize serving families with low-income and racially marginalized learners, few programs explicitly center equity and participatory action in design and implementation. We examined how equity was embedded in the planning and implementation process for a local level universal prekindergarten program serving 3- and 4-year-olds. Data from 23 interviews and six community focus groups shed light on the strengths and challenges faced and lessons learned for other locales working on similar initiatives.
