Tell Our Next Congress: Invest in the Futures of Kids like Tora
Tora from South Carolina has big dreams. Because she had access to Head Start, she's well on her way to achieving those dreams.
Head Start is a comprehensive early education and development program. It is evidence-based and is proven to work to ensure kids in the program are kindergarten ready. The program has life-long benefits to children and their families. It transforms kids' lives.
Sadly, millions of children living in poverty who are eligible for Head Start, miss out on vital screenings in addition to literacy and early math. Congress can change this.
No matter what happens on Election Day, we want the next Congress to make investing in high-quality early childhood education a priority for kids like Tora.
We can all help kids like Tora start life strong. Sign the petition urging our next congressional leaders to invest in kids!
I believe that increasing access to high-quality early childhood education is the best way to ensure equal opportunity for all kids. Expanding and improving early childhood education is a commonsense investment with bipartisan support that cannot wait.
I urge the leadership of the incoming Congress to commit to investments that improve the quality of early education and to provide equal access to kids. I pledge to vote for candidates who will make expanding early learning a top priority.
