Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids.
Have any fun summer plans, John?
It’s every child’s favorite time of year! But for young learners, it can be catastrophic.
Many children living in poverty don’t have books to read at home. When school doors close for summer break, they can lose up to three months of progress!
That’s why early education is so important — it prepares future students for a lifetime of learning.
Pretty soon, kids across the U.S. will kick off their sneakers and slip on their sandals, trading backpacks and homework for playgrounds and swimming pools.
But this summer won’t be fair for every child.
Sometimes, growing up in poverty means you don’t have books to read at home. That creates a big learning gap — one that early education can help kids close.
Believe it or not, 90% of our brains develop by age 5. For soon-to-be-students, it’s a critical time to build strong foundations.
But Congress is considering budget cuts that could make child care even harder to come by — meanwhile, John, 1 in 5 families already struggle to afford it.
Kids need your voice and your compassionate support. Your donation will help hold lawmakers – from the White House to state houses – accountable to children’s needs. Please donate today – even $5 can make a difference!
