Supporters of early childhood programs worried about funding from state
Some centers may be forced to close if cuts in state budget take effect

"You want to prepare them for kindergarten, and yet you're going to kinda just put them out there God knows where for two months before they start kindergarten" Nuegebauer said.
Nuegebauer says that some early childhood education centers that have made a lot of spots for these children could be forced to close if the funding is pulled at the last minute. More than 12,000 children statewide participate in the program.
