Early Childhood Education
Committee Democrats are committed to ensuring that all children have access to high-quality, affordable child care and early childhood education.
Expanding access to affordable, high-quality, early learning opportunities is essential to ensuring that all children can fulfill their potential and succeed in college and career. Decades of research show that properly nurturing children in the early years of life supports enhanced brain development, cognitive functioning, and emotional and physical health. High-quality child care and early learning programs help prevent and mitigate achievement gaps for low-income children, with long-term benefits for our nation.
