Aloha,
My Representative in Congress, Mazie Hirono, has introduced the PRE-K
Act to strengthen early childhood education throughout the country. This
legislation is intended to help states reach the goal of voluntary pre-k
for all families that want it.
Here's what Rep. Hirono told her colleagues last week:
The PRE-K Act will help more children enter school ready to succeed. It creates a new federal-state partnership to provide better preschool opportunities for our country’s children.
Research shows that participation in a high quality early education program can improve success in school and later in life.
More information follows below the fold.
Ensuring access to high-quality early childhood education is the best
investment we can make for the future.
May I please ask you to take a moment and ask your Member of Congress to
co-sponsor this important bill. Here's how:
