By providing pre-k, Governor Riley believes Alabama’s children will be less likely to repeat a grade, more likely to graduate from high school and college and command a higher salary.
The folks at Cornerstone Schools of Alabama’s Academy for Early Learning couldn't agree more.
Teachers there notice a difference between children who have attended pre-k and those who haven't.
Children in this class learn to recognize letters, their sounds and learn to count well before kindergarten.
Governor riley says many economic developments take 20-30 years to see a return on those investments... He adds no investment will give a greater, more immediate return than the one in pre-k.
Alabama's governor is proposing setting aside millions of dollars to give Alabama's children a better start in education.
He says providing first class voluntary pre-k will benefit children well into adulthood.
