Abstract	As part of the federal Preschool Development Grant Program in late 2014, the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) was awarded a Preschool Expansion Grant (referred to as the Massachusetts PEG program) to expand high-quality early childhood education to four-year-old children from low-income families. The Massachusetts PEG program has provided the Commonwealth with a unique opportunity to increase access to high quality preschool through a mixed service delivery system. The PEG model is defined by the provision of key elements perceived to be important drivers of quality. Massachusetts is concentrating its PEG resources in five underserved high need communities: Boston, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, and Springfield. These communities provide full-day, full-year preschool for four-year-olds through public-private partnerships between the lead education agency (LEA) and local licensed early learning providers (ELPs). In each community, the participating ELPs, including a Head Start agency and one or more community-based agencies, provide the services with support from the LEA. For families to be eligible for PEG, their income must be below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, and four out of the five communities also targeted four-year-olds that had not previously been enrolled in licensed child care settings. Beginning in September 2015, participating LEAs and ELPs in the five communities began implementing PEG in 48 four-year-old classrooms across 24 early education centers. As part of the PEG program, EEC has invested in a rigorous external evaluation. The multi-year PEG evaluation is being conducted by Abt Associates Inc. in partnership with University of Massachusetts Boston. The first year of the PEG evaluation (2015-16) focused on the implementation of PEG.
