    Why this red state made preschool free

    10:25Why this red state made preschool free
    • In Oklahoma, pre-k is just when school begins. I don't run into anybody anymore that doesn't know that there's a pre-k program. It's there. It's just part of what we offer. And most of them, because they need it for child care, go ahead and sign up. Implementing universal pre-k isn't easy or cheap. You need qualified teachers and often construction of new facilities. But the biggest lesson from Oklahoma for me was if states can find a way to do this, whether it's through groups of dedicated advocates and educators demonstrating why it's good for kids and parents, or it's through a little wheeling and dealing, the programs once in place are beloved across the political spectrum. It's a wonderful program and fills the need of a lot of parents. Where do they want their children to be when they're four years old? Just this year, a Republican lawmaker in Oklahoma introduced a bill that would expand free pre-k to all three-year-olds in the state.
