Iowa funds voluntary part-day preschool for four-year-olds in most districts. All-day programs for every child would expand access, with higher state costs.

For every dollar you invest, you save $17 later on because when you're able to start school that early, kids are less likely to commit crime (and) less likely to end up on state assistance, so that's a good investment for taxpayers.
