Preschool for every kid is the best investment we can make.
If you believe every kid deserves a fair shot in life, co-sponsor the Strong Start for America's Children Act so all kids can have high-quality early education.
Why is this important?
As parents in your district, we are writing to ask you to support expanding access to high quality preschool programs by co-sponsoring the Strong Start for America’s Children Act (HR 3461). We believe every American child deserves a fair shot at a good life and that starts with a high quality education beginning in early childhood. Recent studies show that kids who attend preschool not only do better in school as they grow older, they are also more likely to go to college and get a good job. Too many of our kids--and throughout the state--lack access to high quality preschool and are starting kindergarten a step behind their peers.
Our school boards and California can’t make preschool accessible to all children by ourselves; we need your help. The good news is that the Strong Start for America’s Children Act would allow California to partner with the federal government to expand preschool education to nearly all of our kids.
In our community it takes parents, teachers, businesses, churches and charities working together to ensure strong schools. Similarly, it will take many voices working together to expand access to high quality preschool for our kids. We urge you to co-sponsor the bipartisan Strong Start for America’s Children Act and put our kids’ education first. Expanding early learning is not only the right thing to do, it’s an investment in our future.
