Preschools Will Be Encouraged To Collaborate
KENTUCKY...
An early childhood education task force is recommending more collaboration between preschools to ensure that Kentucky children are ready for entry into elementary schools.
The group was charged two years ago with reviewing early childhood education and recommending ways to improve early learning experiences and opportunities for Kentucky children from birth to 6 years old.
Beshear said he will review the recommendations, saying a child's earliest years are critical for future achievement. He called it vital that Kentucky strengthen the educational foundation for its youngest citizens.
