Idaho is getting an almost $3.5 million federal grant to improve early childhood education. The Preschool Development Grant gives the Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children the ability to look at existing programs, measure effectiveness and find room for improvement. Executive Director of Idaho’s AEYC Beth Oppenheimer tells Idaho Matters more on what we can expect from the grant.
