Early learning costs money, but if we don’t make the investment while children are young, the costs become much greater later on. The same research showing the academic benefits of quality early childhood education also shows that a lack of early learning increases the likelihood of academic failure, dropping out of high school and teen pregnancy. Those stumbling blocks often lead to crime, substance abuse and reliance on public assistance.

All businesses need access to creative, reliable employees, and we are working to assure a vibrant talent pool, now and in the future.
I don’t believe that those skills are innate. They develop when parents and teachers work together to immerse children in an environment of enrichment. As Pennsylvanians, we can point with pride to our support for quality early childhood education. Our state’s system to fund and set high standards for early learning is considered a model for the nation.
