Obama pushes preschool for all kids

(MCT) — WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama visited a preschool in Georgia on Thursday to unveil details about his new plan to ensure that all 4-year-olds — including those whose families struggle to make ends meet — receive the same opportunities for a high-quality early education.

Funded by federal and state tax dollars, the president’s plan would be a dramatic expansion of education for 4-year-olds, by making a year of optional preschool free for low- and moderate-income children.
