Jefferson Parish Council approved $250,000 a year to expand access to early childhood education for 3 years

The Jefferson Parish Council just approved $250,000 a year for the next three years to expand access to early childhood education, an investment that doubles state matching funds. This funding will help more local children access high-quality care and education while supporting working parents and strengthening the parish’s workforce. Dr. Sarintha Stricklin, Jefferson Ready Start Network, joins Newell to talk about it.
