NASHP features South Carolina’s recent investment in an extended day, year-round 4-year-old kindergarten program in public schools and all childcare centers. This program aligns with the Every Child Ready Strategic Plan, and serves children eligible for Medicaid or free-/reduced-price lunches, receiving SNAP/TANF, experiencing homelessness, transiency, or in foster care.
