STILL WAITING…..FOR NJ’s Pre-K
Pre-K Our Way’s ads from now through Election Day on November 7 focus on the 50,000 3- and 4-year-olds still waiting for NJ’s pre-k. Funding for pre-k expansion in this year’s state budget – the first funding in nearly a decade – benefits only a few thousand children. Still waiting are 50,000 children across hundreds of communities!
NJ’s high-quality, full-day pre-k was promised – back in 2008 – to 50,000 more children, and their families. Click on the links that follow to learn how NJ’s pre-k supports working parents, encourages future health, delivers educational achievement – and promotes successful lives.

Fund NJ Pre-K Expansion NOW!
Continuing the Campaign for Pre-K Expansion, Pre-K Our Way’s four ads (June 2017) delivered a direct message: fund NJ pre-k expansion NOW! The ads encouraged viewers to let their legislators know to support pre-k – that the viewer wanted pre-k! These ads featured only some of the hundreds of communities waiting for NJ’s existing state-funded, full-day pre-k—and only some of the 50,000 3- and 4-year-olds waiting every year. The ads ran statewide on selected digital platforms, websites and targeted print media.
