I believe that we parents must encourage our children to become educated, so they can get into a good college that we cannot afford.

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.

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.

If we don't empower families to be able to have a quality education, then their children - for the first time in American history, truly the first time - will not have the same economic opportunities.

I believe education should be a right for every child, but tragically in many parts of world it is a privilege for certain children whose parents have money. There are 72 million children in the world who don't go to school and many of them are in Africa.

Every child should have the opportunity to receive a quality education.

Investment in early education is not a Liberal or Conservative idea. Nor should it be decided along party lines.

Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.

I'm a mom, and my view of public education begins and ends with the fundamental question: Is this good for children?

We're committed to making sure parents have affordable, quality early learning for their kids - there's no question about it.
