The state is looking to fill seven thousand
seats in free preschool programs over the next 30 days. Officials
kicked off a public information campaign today to promote the early
childhood education program for three- and four-year-olds from
low-income families.
The program is being funded with 40 (m) million dollars from
this years special legislative session on education. Officials say
an early start in education for poor children can help toward a
better future for them and improved the economic well-being of the
state. Entergy Arkansas and Tyson Foods are footing the bill for
the nearly $100,000 public information campaign
that includes posters, brochures and public service announcements
on radio and television.
