The Great Divide is an investigative series that explores educational inequality in Boston and statewide.
President Bidenâs proposal for free, high-quality preschool
for all 3- and 4-year-olds would create powerful change in Massachusetts, one of the nationâs most expensive child care markets, educators and parents said.
