An annual survey released this week says 16.4 million children in the United States \u2014 nearly one-fourth \u2014 were living in poverty in 2011, more than a year after the Great Recession officially ended.<\/strong> That’s an increase of 3 million children since 2005, according to the survey from the Annie E. Casey Foundation.<\/p>\n

The report showed that nearly half of Hawaii’s children didn’t attend preschool from 2009 to 2011.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hawaii’s governor this week signed a bill that expands the state’s existing Preschool Open Doors program to fund subsidies for 900 children. The more than $7 million package is seen as a step toward eventually providing state-funded public preschool, but is less than half of what Gov. Neil Abercrombie originally proposed. Thousands of kids will lose services when the state’s junior kindergarten program for late-born 4-year-olds expires in mid-2015.<\/p>\n

Educating children at homeless shelters and tents on the beach, Ka Paalana is funded mostly through federal programs, including the Administration for Native Americans.<\/p>\n
