Sixty-six percent of children up to the age of five are enrolled in quality early education programs, according to the Rennie Center for Education Research and Policy. According to their report some of the major education challenges the state is facing include, a workforce skills gap and a lack of school readiness for children. Currently, only half of the children in the City of Springfield participate in a formal school experience before the start of kindergarten.
