ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Gov. Tom Wolf stopped in our area Friday to highlight a big funding boost for early childhood education.
Wolf visited the Volunteers of America Children's Center in Allentown.
This year's budget included a $79 million increase for Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts and the Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program.
Pre-K Counts provides pre-kindergarten services to at-risk three-and four-year-olds at no cost to families.
The Head Start Program offers child care from birth until kindergarten.
