All children should enter school healthy, ready to learn, and prepared for success.
Yet the high costs of quality health care and early education programs for young children are often unaffordable for working families struggling to make ends meet.
Without access to such positive early childhood development experiences, children are more likely to start behind when they enter kindergarten, and stay behind throughout their lives.
I urge local and state lawmakers to make our youngest children their #1 priority by:
1. Ensuring that quality early care and education programs are accessible to all children
2. Ensuring that every child, regardless of medical conditions or income, has access to health care
