Rep Meehan: Will you support PA's Kids?
Rep. Meehan, 70% of Pennsylvania's kids lack access to high-quality preschool: Give our kids a fair start in life by cosponsoring the Strong Start for America's Children Act (H.R. 3461).
Why is this important?
Studies now show that providing low-income communities access to full-time, high-quality preschool could entirely eliminate the achievement gap. [1]
With 7 out of every 10 PA children lacking access to high quality early learning now is the time to act and support the children of Pennsylvania. [2]
An investment in early childhood education is an investment in our future; with an $8 return for every $1 invested. [3] Now THAT is bang for your buck!
Don't wait to make a difference. Act now.
