Show Notes

Californias Universal Transitional Kindergarten initiative, launched this year, offers play-based learning to every four-year-old in public schools. Governor Gavin Newsoms push for this program has led to a need for specialized prekindergarten training. While some districts have enough staff, qualifications vary, and counties like Merced face delays in launching training programs due to state credentialing commission bottlenecks. Universities like Fresno State are stepping up to fill the gap, training new teachers like Yer Yang, who aims to inspire the next generation through hands-on early learning.
