Abstract	In 2014, a study by the Civil Rights Project at UCLA found that New York State had the most segregated schools in the country, more segregated than the school systems in the deep south. In recent years, however, attention to and action on school integration in New York has grown. Through groups such as Teens Take Charge, IntegrateNYC, and the Alliance for School Integration and Desegregation, students and parents have been speaking up in support of integration. New integration plans have been successfully implemented in several community school districts. And earlier this year, the New York City School Diversity Advisory Group, a high-level panel of experts and community members convened by the mayor, issued two reports with sweeping recommendations for changes to the city's school policies and practices that, if enacted, would represent the most robust desegregation efforts ever undertaken in New York City. At the same time, the past few years have also seen growing attention to investments in early childhood education in the city. Mayor de Blasio made Pre-K for All, and subsequently 3-K for All, signature policies of his administration, expanding free, full-day public preschool to serve thousands of children and families. Although the work on school integration and early education both have equity and opportunity as their core concerns, these two initiatives have been largely separate thus far. This report attempts to give direction for some of that work, beginning with a discussion of why diversity in early education matters in the first place, followed by a summary of what we know about the demographics of early childhood education nationally. The subsequent sections give an overview of the early childhood system in New York City, covering children from birth up to age five; discuss the opportunities and challenges that the system presents for integration; and offer broad policy recommendations for the steps needed to provide more of the youngest New Yorkers with access to integrated learning environments.
