US EditionDemocratic Gov. Andy Beshear steps up campaign to ensure preschool for every Kentucky 4-year-old
- On Friday, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear visited Bowling Green to rally support for his Pre-K for All initiative.
- Beshear initiated this campaign in response to data showing that a majority of children in Kentucky start kindergarten without the necessary readiness skills and that many counties, especially in Eastern Kentucky, face shortages in child care availability.
- The initiative offers free preschool statewide, aiming to improve readiness, reduce childcare costs, and enable more parents to join the workforce.
- Beshear emphasized that many families across the country are currently facing financial challenges, with the cost of childcare being a significant burden.
- The plan has the potential to expand Kentucky’s labor pool by as many as 70,000 individuals and is estimated to return $10 to the state economy for every dollar spent on pre-K programs.
