I spent some time with the teachers of our littlest Alabamians at @AL_DECE’s conference today. Pre-K teachers not only lay the foundation for our students but also the foundation for the future of our state. We’re proud of their work! #alpolitics #StrongStartStrongFinish 1/2

[Governor Kay Ivey @GovernorKayIvey]

Since taking office, I’ve nearly doubled the percentage of four-year-olds we’re serving through First-Class Pre-K. We’ve tripled the budget for Pre-K since 2017 & are investing historic amounts in education & our sights are set on even more to accomplish. #alpolitics @AL_DECE 2/2

Region 1 Summer Fun! Welcome new teachers!

[BornReadyOrg @BornReadyOrg]

Playing with letters and sounds is not just fun, it’s also the building blocks of language and reading skills. Children are using what they already know, paying attention and thinking flexibly. These skills also help them to come up with new, creative ideas. #bornready

We are thrilled that @GovernorKayIvey and our state leaders continue to invest in Alabama First Class Pre-K, maintaining all 10 NIEER quality benchmarks for 16 years running. Thank you funding that allows us to serve 1,728 more students in our First Class Pre-K program. #PreK4AL

BREAKING NEWS! The Alabama Legislature has given final approval to a $22.5 million for First Class Pre-K, AND a historic $17.8 million to support child care quality. ASRA's Pre-K Task Force recommended both investments, which were initially proposed by Governor Ivey. #PreK4AL

The Alabama First Class Pre-K funding application is open through mid-march to all types of providers. #PreK4AL #ALPolitics via @AL_DECE
