October 2017 Group Watch: Ivey Praises Pre-K
Governor Kay Ivey visited Auburn as part of her “Strong Start, Strong Finish” education initiative. Ivey cut the ribbon at the Auburn Daycare Center-Moton to recognize a new First-Class Pre-K classroom and while there, praised the state’s Pre-K program. Eighteen children are enrolled at this site, which is located in the Auburn Housing Authority Complex. Pre-K is part of the Office of School Readiness within the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education, and the program has received the highest quality rating from the National Institute for Early Education Research for the past 11 years.
