NJ Wins Prek Expansion Funds New Jersey was one of 13 states to receive federal funds to expand preschool to children living in low- and moderate-income families, federal officials announced today. A total of 18 states received preschool funding – the remainder to develop programs in states that currently do not have preschool. The grants totaled more than $226 million, under the Preschool Development Grants program. New Jersey is expected to receive about $66.5 million over four years.
