If we expect our children to thrive at our colleges and universities, and succeed in our economy once they graduate - first we must make quality, affordable early childhood education accessible to all.

It is imperative to change the way we look at education. We should invest in the foundation of school readiness from birth to age 5.

Even the best parents have to spend so much time making ends meet that they cannot help their kids with homework or afford the extra tutoring that wealthier students enjoy. To address these unjust disparities, we need an early education revolution.

It's not easy for the average family to ensure that their child receives a quality education. And the federal government is not making it any easier.

Early childhood education is the key to the betterment of society.

Every parent wants to do what's best for their child. Whatever I can afford, I'm going to get my kid the best education I can get.

We need to prepare our kids for a 21st Century economy, and we're not doing it with our schools.

We need to provide higher quality and innovative early childhood development programs all throughout Latin America.

We have every resource necessary to provide access to education for every child on the planet; we just need to commit to enabling it.

Early childhood education is an urgent educational, economic and moral imperative. Without it, we face a long-term national economic security crisis.
