flag Kentucky expands pre-K access for low- and middle-income families, aiming for universal pre-K by 2035.

flag Kentucky lawmakers are advancing legislation to expand pre-kindergarten access, with House Bill 574 and HB 572 aiming to serve low- and middle-income families by raising income eligibility to 160% and 250% of the federal poverty level, respectively. flag The bills include statewide quality standards, coordination with Head Start, local expansion plans, and a data system for tracking outcomes. flag Senate bills propose a phased path to universal pre-K by 2034–2035. flag Lawmakers cite data showing over half of children enter kindergarten unprepared and more than 70,000 adults can’t work due to child care shortages, with 79 counties classified as child care deserts. flag They emphasize strong economic returns, with every dollar invested potentially yielding up to ten dollars in long-term benefits.
