Dear John,
Every dollar invested in early childhood education yields an incredible 25% increase in the likelihood of high school graduation rates - making it one of society's smartest investments.
This matters because a child's brain develops faster from birth to age 5 than at any other time.
Yet today, over 1 million children enter kindergarten unprepared to learn, with opportunity gaps appearing as early as 9 months of age.
Start Early is changing this reality through proven, comprehensive solutions that work:
-
✅ Served 1.5 million children through proven programs like our home visiting services, where trained professionals work directly with families to support early learning and development
-
✅ Trained nearly 300,000 early childhood educators in research-backed teaching methods that help children develop critical thinking and social skills
-
✅ Provided policy recommendations and expertise to 17 state governments to expand access to quality preschool programs and increase funding for childcare, improving opportunities for 6.5 million young children
The impact of this work is both immediate and long-lasting. Children in our programs are 25% more likely to graduate high school, 4x more likely to earn a college degree and earn up to 25% higher wages as adults.
These improved outcomes – from better educational achievement to higher employment rates and health outcomes – show why early childhood education is such a powerful investment in our future. |
POLL: Should we invest more in early childhood programs that increase the likelihood of high school graduation rates by 25%? |
Thanks in advance for sharing your opinion.
Together, we can close the opportunity gap and create lasting change for generations to come.
Best regards,
Start Early |
