Dear Friend,
Across the country, more than
70 percent of three and four year olds have no access to
publicly funded early education programs. Half a million of
these children come from low-income families.
The US House of Representatives has
already passed a bill that would provide billions in funding for
early childhood education, raising the level of participation in
these early learning programs among disadvantaged
children.
But right now, opponents are
trying to block this crucial funding in the
Senate.
Click
here to tell your Senators: Our children's education must be a
top priority, and we're counting on you to support the Early
Learning Challenge Fund!
Some states have had to trim their
budgets this year, deeply cutting or halting expansion of their
pre-kindergarten programs. As a result, thousands of families
are struggling to find quality early education for their
children.
This proposed investment is a
forward-thinking policy that is good for our children and our
communities. Research indicates that every dollar spent on
high-quality pre-kindergarten is worth $7 in taxpayer savings
and economic productivity. Bolstering early education today will
go a long way toward ensuring a sound economy for years to
come.
We can't let Congress miss out
on this opportunity.
Send
your Senators a strong message to support this crucial early
education funding!
Thanks so much for your help! Together,
we'll raise the bar for our nation's three and four year olds.
Sincerely,
Marci Young
