Proposed changes to a federal program are causing concern among some providers. The goal of the changes is to reduce costs and give more authority to states. Some operators of the program, which helps children from low-income families, believe the changes will have negative effects.

These operators think the changes will not benefit kids. They are speaking out against the proposed overhaul. Further details about the program and the proposed changes are available.

The program is designed to support kids from low-income families in their early education, helping to fill gaps in their learning before they start school.
