John,
When children have access to high-quality early learning, like Head Start, they are more likely to succeed — boosting their chances of graduating high school, attending college and securing steady jobs in the future.
Supporting parents through subsidies like the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG), strengthens economic stability, boosts local economies, and fosters thriving communities.
Simply put, investing in kids uplifts entire families and communities. But losing programs like Head Start would push parents out of the workforce and increase child poverty.
The Senate Commitee on Appropriations approved its FY26 Health and Human Services (HHS) budget. The funding levels are positive and an investment in children across the U.S., but we need to keep the pressure on Congress to invest in early education.
John, will you send a message to Congress asking to support early education funding?
