“Compared to many other developed countries, the United States trails behind when it comes to affordable, high quality early childhood education. It’s time we fix this by providing ALL families access to affordable, holistic, child-centered early education.If I had access to high-quality, affordable early education and child care that would mean less of a mental and a financial burden would be placed on my family. My partner and I could return to work content knowing that our child is in good hands, and can therefore focus on thriving at work. We wouldn’t have to consider sacrificing our way of life or possibly not working at all to care for our child.”
