PEW Center on the States - Pre [K] Now

Pre-K Now (Part of The Pew Center on the States) is a public education and advocacy organization advancing high quality, voluntary pre-kindergarten for all three and four year olds. Pre-K Now supports state-based children’s advocates; educates policymakers about the need for pre-k and raises public awareness about the need for pre-k for all children.

Pre-K now has engaged WebFirst to design am internal web-based database system that will be a repository for data on state-funded pre-k programs and Pre-K Now’s work with these programs. The database will be Pre-K Now’s primary tool for storing, comparing, and analyzing and presenting this data to internal staff and certain external constituents. Some of the features developed by WebFirst:

• A brand new look and feel for the repository website. WebFirst is very focused on the need for ease of navigation, timely and accurate delivery of survey data, and security.
• Large Scale Data Repository and Data Mining Capabiliites (SQL Server)
• Streamlined and easy to use data entry module
• Searching and reporting mechanism that drills down to the data required by Pre-K Now’s user base.
• e rules and triggers on certain fields by which auto generated emails will be sent to staff for civic actions.
