Public support for kindergarten and other early childhood services continues to grow, as evidenced by a state survey conducted in 1974 by the Education Commission of the States. This is the third survey which has been made by the ECS Early Childhood Project. Previous surveys were made in 1970 and 1972. In 1974, questionnaires were sent to 50 states and three territories. Replies were received from 44 states and one territory. The states and territories that did not reply to the 1974 survey did supply information in 1972, and in the summary information presented here, these states are included-based on the information as reported in 1972.
