Andy Beshear: “Pre K saves parents thousands of dollars every year.”

“Most Kentucky parents can't afford Pre K. So many of our neighbors want to return to work but simply can't afford child care. And at a time when things cost too much, Pre K saves parents thousands of dollars every year. And one study shows it boosts parents earnings by nearly $9,000 per year for at least six years. Over time, Pre K is projected to grow Kentucky's workforce by up to 70,000 people.” (1:13:17–1:13:21)
