Kentucky Family Guide

Kentucky has revised Early Childhood Standards for professionals and a new Family Guide to go along with them. In this session, families will learn how they too can use the standards while interacting with their children at home. Parents are the first and most important teachers children have and we want to enhance the opportunities families have to prepare their children for kindergarten.
