Democrats in California Expected To Introduce Legislation To Fund Free Preschool

Spokesman for state senator who came up with the plan says cost details to be released today

(Reuters)—A top California lawmaker on Tuesday is expected to unveil a proposal to fund free public preschool for all children in the most populous U.S. state.

The plan by Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, a Democrat, to offer a pre-kindergarten program to four-year-olds in the western state comes as he and other Democratic legislators try to push California Governor Jerry Brown to increase spending on social services, including education, in next year's budget.

Steinberg and senate Democrats who support his plan expect to introduce legislation establishing the pre-kindergarten program this week, said the senator's spokesman, Mark Hedlund.

I like this idea, this is really great! I want to share with you an information I’ve learned during my research of the pre-kindergarten benefits! You can get research paper for a low price, but generally I want to say that children benefits from attending pre-ks, as they become familiar with new words and learn how to use language, numbers, but under condition that the game is the key during all lessons!
