Prekindergarten to get $35M in new Maryland State Department of Education investments

The Maryland State Department of Education will invest more than $35 million into prekindergarten through three grant programs, the department announced Wednesday. The investment adds to historic funding for prekindergarten programming as part of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, which aims to expand full-day prekindergarten options as one of its main priorities. Earlier this month, Gov. Wes Moore announced $11.5 million in capital funding to 67 child care facilities in the state.
