@geraldmalloySC@malloyGD Congratulations, Senator Malloy and Family. Marshall is beautiful and he will rock the axis of your world. You’ve always been a staunch supporter of SC’s children but look out, Granddaddy is on duty!
Enough of the bureaucratic mazes for children and families: South Carolina has created a single online portal for more than 40 early childhood services. If ever there was a system that other states should shamelessly copy, this is it. @SCFirstSteps https://t.co/drWKXd9tDN
The first day of kindergarten is 10 weeks away. Let's play! 🚀 Play is how children learn about the world around them. When children play with others, they learn to communicate, problem-solve, and get along with peers. Visit https://t.co/Yd5DvXkF6j to learn more! #CountdownSC

Thank you, Lt. Governor Evette, for touring Legacy Early College's newly completed early childhood building. The joyous sounds of 4K scholars will soon fill the building!
I’m thankful for the work that our charter schools provide South Carolina students. Thank you to @LegacyEarlyC for the tour of your new building today.
We must make sure that every student is ready to learn when he or she enters the classroom. Once again, I am proposing that we unleash the free market and invest $48 million to expand access to full day kindergarten for every low income, four year old in the state.
Gov. Henry McMaster wants legislators to expand full-day programs for 4-year-olds, cover college tuition for poor students, and resume teachers’ pay bumps in the upcoming state budget.
