Calling all parents and educators of preschool children:
You are invited to attend a public forum about Universal Pre-K! The Governor has appointed a Start Strong Council to oversee the development of expanded access to quality preschool for four-year-olds. The council is in the early stages of gathering information to guide its recommendations for this program. There will be a special session to inform the public of the Council's activities so far, and to get ideas and comments from people around Virginia that will help the Council develop its recommendations.
If you are interested in learning more about this initiative and sharing your thoughts, please join us from 4:30-6:00 p.m. on September 28 in Harrisonburg at the Massanutten Regional Library, 174 S. Main Street, Harrisonburg, VA .
