Fourteen states (28%) and one territory reported having a total of more than 51 preschool programs for gifted children. These programs are located at public schools, university campuses, and private sites. Twenty-nine states (58%) and one territory reported serving gifted kindergarten children in a total of more than 2,655 school districts.
