Advocates and Parents Push for Early Childhood Education Bill – WBSM
People gathered Saturday outside the Buttonwood Park Warming House, rallying in support of legislation that they say would bolster Early Childhood Education programs in Massachusetts.
The bill is currently before lawmakers on Beacon Hill…
Saturday's rally was organized by the Common Start Coalition. Spokesperson Kathy Blackwell said while Massachusetts is considered a leader in early childhood education and childcare, access to high quality childcare programs remain out of reach for too many families.
The bill would establish a roll-out of the program over a five-year period, and increase the scope of public funding along the way.
