Southwest Kansas advocates push for comprehensive school readiness system
Jennifer Crow of the Kansas Coalition for School Readiness and the Kansas Association of School Boards led a Wednesday forum in Garden City to urge funding and better coordination of early childhood education. The effort aims to centralize services for children under five, reduce gaps, and align with Harvard Center for the Developing Child research and Perry Preschool findings. Deanna Berry from Russell Child Development Center noted policymakers already hear from local providers, while advocates press for targeted investment and broader outreach.
