Advocates For Children of NJ

Growing child poverty is the central theme of the latest "Kids Count" report from Advocates for Children of New Jersey.

New Jersey has made significant progress in providing breakfast to children of low-income families at the start of their school day, according to a national report.

A new report finds New Jersey leads the nation in preschool attendance among young children, but there are still tens of thousands of kids who lack access to a solid early education.

More than 130,000 children are attending preschool in New Jersey, according to a new report, but tens of thousands of young children still lack access.

New Jersey spends more money per student in public preschool than any other state, yet the state has lost ground in providing 4 year-olds access to preschool, dropping from 9th to 16th nationally.
