Early Childhood Education: The Path to School Success

KET dedicated its latest broadcast of Education Matters - on early childhood education - to Bob Sexton.

Host Bill Goodman and his guests explore why early childhood education is so important to intellectual and academic development. The panelists also discuss innovative programs here in Kentucky that improve access to high-quality educational experiences for the state's youngest students.

Prichard Committee member Lynda Thomas was the content producer for the program, which features:
  • Annette Bridges, Director, Division of Early Childhood Development, Kentucky Department of Education;
  • Cindy Heine, Interim Executive Director, Prichard Committee;
  • Thomas Floyd, Superintendent, Madison County Public Schools; and
  • Rick Hulefeld, Executive Director, Children Inc.

Excellent! I've been looking for something like for a while. My childhood early education was only indirectly influenced by my parents due to them having an enormous library of books and little else. A more focused approach is far better.
