Hearing from the Kids

Candidates had the opportunity to see early childhood education and family support programs at Heartland Programs under the guidance of Korey Hensley on Wednesday, October 1. A highlight was eating lunch with the kids, dancing, and playing a learning coordination game with a visiting group of high school early ed students who guided the youngest set in their activities. It was edifying and insightful. Key insight: These programs are funded by a variety of governmental and granting agencies, but state funds figure in more than half of them.
