Kentucky Republican says early childhood education is the answer to workforce, childcare crises
Fox News
Kentucky state Sen. Danny Carroll wants to bolster early childhood education in the state to free up parents to work as federal pandemic aid pandemic dries up.
"We must take advantage of this crisis that we’re about to face and we must transform the way that we think about early childhood education and the meaning of this," Carroll told the committee. "It’s not babysitting. It’s not childcare. It’s not daycare. It’s education."
The Senate Families and Children Committee took no vote Tuesday on the sweeping measure — a week after Carroll unveiled the proposal. Carroll, who chairs the committee, said he hoped a committee vote could come next week. Much of the discussion, he said, revolves around the bill's price tag — currently pegged at $300 million over the next two fiscal years.
