Georgia Pre K Week is October 5–9, 2026, celebrating early learning and highlighting the importance of Georgia’s free, voluntary Pre K program for all 4-year-olds. Georgia Pre K Week is a statewide, weeklong event organized by Voices for Georgia’s Children and the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL) to raise awareness of the value of high-quality early childhood education. Launched in 1992 as a pilot with 750 students, Georgia’s Pre-K program has grown into a nationally recognized model, serving over two million children and providing a free, voluntary early education for all 4-year-olds regardless of income. Research shows children in the program make significant gains in math, language, literacy, and social-emotional skills, with benefits lasting well beyond kindergarten. This year’s Georgia Pre K Week theme is Celebrating Curiosity, Confidence, and a Love of Learning.
We are celebrating Georgia Pre-K Week!
