The Arkansas Department of Education announced today the initial cohort of 12 organizations, representing 29 counties, that will establish a comprehensive, localized plan to ensure children and families have access to high-quality early childhood education in their communities.

A new study has placed Arkansas at the head of the class in early childhood education. The study by the consumer finance site WalletHub ranked Arkansas as number-one in the United States based on three different metrics: access to preschool programs, quality of programs, resources and economic support.
