Sometimes,when you get into the education field, you get sucked into politics, my soul now belongs to Education Politics, for 2 years anyhow. I just sent a letter to my Senators asking them to support the Early Learning Challenge Grants Fund legislation. Why? Well, the goal of this legislation is to build a comprehensive, high-quality early learning system for children birth to age 5. Access to quality affordable childcare and preschool is something I think every family deserves. The legislation would provide $1 billion a year for eight years to states to develop and enhance high-quality early learning opportunities for all young children, birth to five. These grants focus on building parent support and engagement, increasing access to quality child care and creating real quality standards. High-quality early learning programs for children under age 5 matter in today's economy more than ever. As the Wall Street Journal reported last week, more and more women are returning to work to support their families and consequently, across the country, child care centers are seeing their enrollment rise. It's time to make this legislation a reality! Join me and send a letter today! I mean everybody in every state..write a letter, an email..make a phone call to the lawmakers in your state and ask them to support Early Learning! Remember, the little ones of today are going to be the ones caring for this country when we are in the twilight of our lives. Early learning programs foster and cultivate those quickly growing minds, helps open crucial windows of opportunities for learning, and helps every child have the confidence they need to be successful academically and socially in our communities!!! The big question you need to ask yourself and everyone around you is: Is it worth the tax dollars being spent to educate the next generation now, or will it be better to wait to spend those same tax dollars later on the welfare and prison ($30,000/year/inmate) systems when they are adults?
