California Receives Early Development Grant

March 5, 2019

“Though California has been at odds with the federal government on many fronts,” writes Zaidee Stavely for EdSource, the “state is getting a boost from the Trump administration to lay the groundwork for expanding preschool and child care programs.” California and 44 other states have received ESSA-based Preschool Development Birth through Five Grant this year that see to improve access to child care and early learning for infants and children.” In total, California received $10.6 million via the grant.
