Alabama’s Governor Praises the Power of Preschool

"…I can tell you there’s nothing more important than that development of that brain in the first four years of life," Alabama’s Governor Robert Bentley said earlier this month at the Alabama Governor’s Early Childhood Education Leadership Summit.

Nearly 300 early education leaders attended the summit, which "highlighted the state’s voluntary First Class Pre-K program, home visiting programs, child care centers, and elementary schools and new federal grants for Early Head Start/Child Care Partnerships and Pre-K expansion," according to a press release.
