Pre-k advocates need powerful allies who can gain the attention of the media and state policymakers. America's business community has the kind of influence and access needed to advance pre-k.
Business leaders have been active in the school reform movement and are now advancing
pre-k as an important part of that effort. They understand that pre-k contributes to economic development by cultivating a more educated and competent workforce, raising income and spending levels, and enhancing our country's ability to compete in the international marketplace.
