A panel of early childhood leaders in Kansas is calling on state leaders to reduce “red tape” regarding the childcare system. Kansas Early Childhood Transition Task Force (ECTTF), established by Governor Laura Kelly through the first executive order of her second term, presented its final report for 2023 on Monday. Gov. Kelly responded to questions about what she’d be able to get done on her “wishlist” for early childhood education during next year’s session. “I don’t see it as a wishlist. I see it as a roadmap and a blueprint for how we can rearrange programs that we’re already providing, but do it in a way that makes it easier for families… [so] there’s more of a one-stop shop for early childhood services rather than this maze that they have to go through now,” Kelly said.
