The number one way that we can address these long-term challenges of poverty, of education, is to invest in early childhood education.

It's important to understand how people perceive risk, and how that translates into investment behavior.

As a former high school teacher, I know that investing in education is one of the most important things we can do, not only for our children, but for the benefit of our whole community.

The most valuable investment we can make is in our children's education. When we make education a priority, we give our children opportunity. Opportunity to learn at higher levels than their parents were able to learn; to earn at higher levels than we were able to earn.

How do you think we build a future? I think we build it by investing in our kids and investing in education.

You have to teach children about money intentionally - create teachable moments.

I focus on supporting high quality early childhood health care and education. By betting my resources on very young children, I know I'm making an investment that pays guaranteed dividends with a high rate of return.

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

Teaching money management is a practical tool that will help shape kids' futures.

We have lots of evidence that putting investments in early childhood education, even evidence from very hard-nosed economists, is one of the very best investments that the society can possibly make. And yet we still don't have public support for things like preschools.
