Start Early: Take a Stand on Pre-K

Target: 2008 Presidential Candidates
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.

Dear Presidential Candidate,

As a voter in this year's primary and general elections, I'm writing to urge you to make federal support for state pre-kindergarten programs an important part of your platform and a top priority if you are elected.

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 raises academic achievement and graduation rates, reduces grade repetition and special education needs, and teaches invaluable social skills and teamwork.

Every child, regardless of its ethnicity or financial background, deserves a chance to education. A child's background does not reflect what he or she can be in the future.
