Support Early Education

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Pre-K Now

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 U.S. 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.

Investing in early education is smart. 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!
