This episode of Intersect Ed explores Texas’ early education, focusing in on the challenges faced by public pre-schools and child care providers. Current half-day pre-K funding forces public school districts in Texas to cover costs for their state-mandated full-day programs. At the same time, many Texans can’t afford traditional child care. Learn about successful initiatives and how Texas legislative action can improve the futures of children aged 0-4 with increased state investment and streamlined regulations to expand access to quality pre-K.

Host Morgan Smith is joined by Sarah Baray, CEO,  Pre-K 4 SA; David Feigen, Director for Early Learning Policy, Texans Care for Children; and Michelle Rinehart, Superintendent of Alpine Independent School District.
