Summary
O presente artigo analisa o atendimento educacional para crianças de quatro anos no Distrito Educacional Unificado de Los Angeles, nos Estados Unidos, entre 2013 e 2018. A partir de consulta a dados disponíveis em sites oficiais dos diferentes níveis de governos e de institutos de pesquisas estadunidenses, constatou-se que a maior parte das vagas para essa idade em Los Angeles é oferecida em escolas elementares por meio dos programas California State Preschool program e Transitional Kindergarten. Houve um crescimento significativo das escolas charter para esse nível de ensino, redundando no crescimento desse atendimento também na educação infantil e configurando a ampliação da privatização da educação via subsídio público a escolas de gestão privada no distrito educacional analisado, recursos esses aumentados com a inclusão e contabilização de tais crianças.
