Why is this important?

Early childhood education has many benefits for children and their communities. Children who have access to high-quality education at a young age are more likely to be behaviorally and academically prepared for grades K-12. Early preparation can lead to greater success for students in the form of higher test scores and graduation rates, as well as better preparation for the workforce. In addition, an early investment in education can help lower community spending on remedial education, welfare use, and criminal justice costs.
