Though Minnesota preschools do not have curriculum requirements, a program called Parent Aware has established a preschool rating system to help ensure kindergarten readiness. Research assessed preschools' familiarity with Parent Aware, and the needed resources for its implementation. These findings will help Minnesota preschool programs provide higher-quality education to preschoolers.
