kindergarten (ETK), readiness kindergarten, or a kindergarten equivalent in a classroom without grades or
one with multiple grades), but all are types of kindergarten. The program may be in a public or private school,
or an early childhood setting such as a nursery school, early childhood learning center, or day care center. It
may be a full- or part-day program and have regular and/or special education.

Schoolwide program: A schoolwide program may use Title I funds to improve the quality of educational
programs and services throughout the school. A school may use Title I funds for a schoolwide program if at
least 40 percent of its students are from low-income families, or if it receives a waiver permitting it to operate
a schoolwide program.
