New Federal Education Law Includes a Focus on Early Education

In addition to the sweeping changes that will impact K-12, the law will also, "Provide more children access to high-quality preschool, giving them the chance to get a strong start to their education."

A White House fact sheet notes that among the law’s incentives to improve "outcomes and opportunities for students" is a provision to "Establish or expand access to high-quality, state-funded preschool for children from low- and moderate-income families, building from the Administration’s Preschool Development Grants program." (Massachusetts was awarded a Preschool Development Grant in December, 2014.)
