There are 17 schools in the USA with the word prekindergarten in the name.

The word "prekindergarten" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because prekindergarten programs have become an important part of early childhood education across the country. Historically, as research emphasized the value of early learning experiences, many states and school districts expanded their educational offerings to include children younger than traditional kindergarten age. Geographically, this trend is widespread, as communities seek to prepare children for academic and social success before they enter elementary school. Culturally, there is growing recognition that high-quality early education can help address achievement gaps and support working families. As a result, schools that serve these young learners often include "prekindergarten" in their names to clearly indicate the age group and educational services they provide.
