Question

In Garfield, Colorado, early childhood professionals are working with the local school district and creating opportunities for preschool education through a program called Gus the Bus. Gus the Bus is a bus that is set up as a preschool classroom bringing early childhood education to parts of the community that may not otherwise be able to have children attend preschool. This is an excellent example of thinking outside the box to solve the problem of accessibility to quality preschool for each and every child and family in that community:
