Dear John,
For early childhood policy advocates, the recent Texas legislative session was a success in many ways.
We helped pass full-day pre-k funding, legislation to improve nutrition and physical play in child care, a bill to study and shine a light on child-teacher ratios in child care, additional funding for Early Childhood Intervention (ECI), and more.
While we celebrate these victories, I think we all recognize that there is still much more work left to do.
In a new blog post, I've teamed up with our Early Childhood Policy Associate, David Feigen, to offer a few thoughts about where we stand and where we're heading on early childhood policy in Texas.
