Hawaii HB249 allocates funds to expand family-child interaction learning programs for children from birth to age five.

Hawaii HB249 aims to enhance early learning opportunities for children aged birth to five by funding family-child interaction learning programs. These programs offer engaging, literacy-rich environments that promote social and emotional development and school readiness. They include high-quality early childhood learning and parent education, equipping caregivers with skills to support their children. The bill allocates funds for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to the executive office on early learning, which will contract with third-party providers.
