About Us

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Our Mission

Team Kentucky Pre-K for All is dedicated to ensuring all Kentucky 4-year-olds are set up for success by having access to high-quality pre-K education. As publicly-funded preschool supports working families by increasing the amount of Kentuckians who can work and eases the burden of child care costs, Pre-K for All will prioritize effective access from the start. 

Our Team

On June 1, 2025, Governor Beshear appointed Sam Flynn as Executive Director for the Team Kentucky Pre-K for All Program and Special Advisor and Deputy Counsel to the Governor.
