The Commonwealth Preschool Partnership Initiative (CPPI) Grants purpose is to continue to expand high-quality pre-kindergarten or preschool opportunities on a voluntary basis to children who will be eligible for kindergarten by September using the Massachusetts Preschool Expansion Grant public-private partnership model. These grants provide communities who have received CPPI grants in FY19 the opportunity to continue the work of expanding access, aligning and improving the quality of local early education systems serving 3 and 4 year olds through partnerships between the local public school district and local EEC-licensed early education programs.
