Definition
Children ages 3 to 4 not enrolled in school, including nursery school, preschool school or kindergarten, during the previous three months by race and ethnicity.
"Nursery school" and "preschool" include any group or class of institution providing educational experiences for children during the years preceding kindergarten. Places where instruction is an integral part of the program are included, but private homes that primarily provide custodial care are not included. Children enrolled in programs sponsored by federal, state or local agencies to provide preschool education to young children--including Head Start programs--are considered as enrolled in nursery school or preschool.
Due to small sample size, these data are based on five-year American Community Survey responses to increase the accuracy of the estimates.
