Advocates of early childhood education won their first state funding increase this year but some of those gains have already been offset by a rising demand for services, officials said Tuesday.
State Rep. Stephanie Hilferty, R-Metairie, said the $20 million allocated by the Legislature earlier this year "is a good start."
"I understand it is not where we need to be," Hilferty said.
