Why is Governor Kaine expanding access to preschool for four-year-olds?
Research shows that 90% of brain development occurs before a child turns five. We know that children who attend high-quality preschool are more likely to finish school, find good jobs, and are less likely to commit a crime. We know how powerful preschool is in improving children’s chances for success. That’s why Governor Kaine believes that every four-year-old child in Virginia should have the opportunity to attend high-quality, voluntary preschool.
