Early childhood education is increasingly being cited as one of the most important factors in a child’s future success. More than three quarters of a child’s intellect, personality, and social skills are developed by age five. Estimates state that every dollar invested in early childhood education returns over seven dollars by the time a child turns 19. However, only 14% of public education dollars are spent on early childhood education in the U.S.
By cutting support for our kids’ education, teachers, and extracurricular programs, we are cutting support for our future. We need to protect the well-being of our children first, before the interests of millionaires and billionaires!
