The Best Of Our Knowledge #1249

Expanding access to preschool and early learning has been a priority for educators and policy makers recently, and with good reason. Research has shown that the earlier students are exposed to a group learning experience the better they do later in their education. Now, the feds are offering states money to step up their game.

Today on the Best Of Our Knowledge, we'll hear about a new, Race To the Top like competition among state for early learning grants.

We'll also spend an academic minute hearing about videos that claim to do the same thing for your child...give them a head start on learning.
