Start Early: Take a Stand on Pre-K
Target: 2008 Presidential Candidates
Sponsored by: Pre-K Now
Sponsored by: Pre-K Now
Access to high-quality pre-k shouldn't be about where a child lives or luck or family income. The proven and lasting benefits of quality pre-k should be available to all who want it.
Pre-k can raise academic achievement and graduation rates, reduce grade repetition and special education needs, and teach invaluable social skills and teamwork.
The presidential candidates must show leadership on this issue now by making pre-k a campaign priority. Ask the candidates what they will do to help all children start school ready to succeed.

As a parenting consultant, and an ex teacher for many years, I cannot stress the importance of early childhood education. We need to start the learning when children are young.

All children deserve the best education this country can provide. Equality is what our nation is built on, right? These kids are our future!

What do any of us indivually and our country as a whole have to lose by giving our young children early learning? It's only a win-win situation. Get the money by stopping cronyism which adds millions of dollars of wasteful cost to the US budget.
