New report shows early learning programs get just pennies on school budget dollar

Today Voices released a report that shows that for each education dollar spent on school-age children, only 25 cents is invested in pre-school children and only 6 cents in infants or toddlers.  Even though the brain research of the past few decades shows that early learning experiences are incredibly important, policymakers have yet to recognize this with enough investment in the early years.

While some progress has been made in early learning, today’s report shows that now is the time to scale up early learning initiatives.  Read the report here, and check out our press release here.
