The state's new director of child development and early childhood education apparently doesn't think too highly of early childhood education programs.
Dianna Lightfoot, whose appointment was announced Tuesday by Aldona Wos, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, is the president of the National Physicians Center.
A policy paper — signed by Lightfoot and two board members — on the nonprofit's website states that early childhood education programs "may actually be inferior to early learning opportunities at home."
