Montana’s businesses must make case for funding preschool
The pilot program is yielding measurable results that demonstrate the tremendous positive impact of high-quality preschool programs and show that publicly funded preschool would work in Montana.
Only six states provide no perennial public funding for preschool programs: Idaho, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. And, of course, Montana.
However, Montana was able to launch a pilot program after the 2017 legislative session thanks to the generous support of the business community — specifically, 14 hospitals that offered to cover the $6 million cost in exchange for legislative support for a higher federal Medicaid reimbursement rate.
