Have you heard? The U.S. House has passed legislation that contains an Early Learning Challenge Fund--an $8 billion, 8-year investment in early learning programs. Pre-K Now applauds the decision, which would fulfill one of President Obama's key pledges.
You've got questions? We've got answers -- and when it comes to pre-k and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, we've got lots of them. Courtesy of Pre-K Now's federal team, here is our great collection of resources to help you navigate and apply ARRA funding.
A number of proposals supporting state-funded high-quality, voluntary pre-kindergarten have been introduced in the 111th Congress. Pre-K Now has analyzed four of the most promising bills: "The Prepare All Kids Act"; the "The Ready to Learn Act"; "The Providing Resources Early for Kids Act"; and "The Universal Pre-Kindergarten Act."
Through our virtual classroom tour and our short video following real children through their pre-k year, we will help you recognize high quality, understand why it makes a difference, and show you how children benefit.
