Kinney letter: Preschool education
I agree with the state senator from Emmett that parents are a key to the success of a child’s learning and development. Preschool teachers know that they teach a child for a year while parents teach their child for a lifetime. Idaho City is a great example of a wise community that takes that understanding of preschool education, implements it into their learning curriculum, and recognizes its long-term benefits. Perhaps, some time soon, our state policymakers will get the drift that “great beginnings never end” and invest in preschool education as an option for all Idaho communities.
