SB 5089: Early learning access

Increasing early learning access for children ages three and older.

Summary

  • Allows enrollment, as space is available, in the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) for children who turn three at any time during the school year if the children's family income is at or below 110 percent of the federal poverty level and the children have received early intervention services or have participated in Early Head Start.
  • Clarifies that children enrolled under these circumstances are not considered part of the future ECEAP entitlement.
