To address an early childhood system that was preparing too few children for kindergarten, Louisiana’s legislature passed the Early Childhood Care and Education Act of 2012.
This legislation charged the state’s BESE to unify publicly-funded preschool, Head Start, and child care programs into a statewide network. This change allows families have easy access to high-quality early learning options that put every at-risk child on track for success in school.
