Among families with incomes below $25,000, preschool participation at age four dropped from 64% to 43%. Author: Kendall Morris Updated: 8:02 PM EDT June 14, 2021 STATESVILLE, N.C. Researchers are beginning to see the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on early childhood education. According to the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER), 71% of 4-year-old children attended a preschool program prior to the pandemic. Preschool participation fell to 54% in the fall of 2020. The top three reasons for this drop in enrollment, according to NIEER, are lack of in-person options, families concerned about the safety of in-person schooling, and cuts in preschool funding. Among families with incomes below $25,000, preschool participation at age four dropped from 64% to 43%, compared to a drop from 72% to 55% for higher-income families.
