Advocate
One of the best ways you can help promote school readiness in our community is to advocate on behalf of quality care and education for children. We use our news page and social media accounts to share action alerts when legislation or budget debates are happening that affect early childhood services.
What to Ask For:
- Quality child care to be included in state, regional, and national economic development plans
- Investment in proven, research-based programs that empower families to be their children’s first and best teachers
- Expanded funding for programs that help identify and address developmental delays that can cause children to arrive at school not ready for kindergarten
