The Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center advances equitable policy solutions that create an inclusive, thriving Commonwealth.
@massbudget.bsky.socialThe federal government’s recent release of regulations gives us more clarity about how this program would work. Unfortunately, that clarity only deepens our concerns.
@massbudget.bsky.social🚨 The program would benefit families with household incomes between $300,000 and $500,000 a year 🚨 The program favors private-school scholarships over services for public school students 🚨 The program advances the federal administration’s shift away from investing in public education.
@massbudget.bsky.socialWhen we released our research on the federal voucher program this past summer, we raised serious concerns: buff.ly/sA35tdR
@massbudget.bsky.socialWe applaud @massgovernor.bsky.social for declaring in her debate on @wbztv.bsky.social last night that the federal school voucher program "is NOT an education plan."
@massbudget.bsky.socialThis PolicyTALKS event builds off of a "Pathways to Universal Pre-K" series continuing to be published by MassBudget and funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

#mapoli #UniversalPre-K
@massbudget.bsky.socialCommunities throughout MA have been collaborating to improve child care access and outcomes for children. We will examine successes of cross-sector collaborations, how to equitably fund and sustain a Pre-K system across the Commonwealth, and pathways to ensure universal access to Pre-K.
@massbudget.bsky.social🚨 Join for our 4th PolicyTALKS of 2026! MA has made historic strides in early ed and care. Still, families are struggling to access quality educational experiences for their youngest children.
@massbudget.bsky.socialMassachusetts has made important progress, but achieving universal pre-K will require sustained public investment, expanded provider capacity, and stronger coordination across the early education system.
📄 Read the full report: buff.ly/L2eWxnx
@massbudget.bsky.socialThe report highlights six priorities for the Commonwealth: ✅️ Treat child care as economic infrastructure ✅️ Build on Massachusetts’ mixed-delivery system ✅️ Protect infant and toddler care ✅️ Ensure inclusive access ✅️ Recognize families’ needs beyond the school day ✅️ Invest additional revenue
@massbudget.bsky.socialWhat will it take to achieve universal pre-K in Massachusetts? A new report from the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center examines lessons from states and communities across the country and identifies pathways Massachusetts can pursue to expand access to high-quality, affordable pre-K.
