As you may know, high-quality pre-k is just one element of early childhood education. Other important early learning programs include evidence-based home visiting and high-quality infant/toddler child care. These three programs together comprise a continuum of services that helps Pennsylvania parents maximize the impact of the first five years of life when 90 percent of brain development occurs. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of young children each year do not have access to these high-quality early learning opportunities due to limited funds.
It is for this reason that Pre-K for PA is joining forces with the Start Strong PA and Childhood Begins At Home Campaigns in urging Governor Wolf to invest across the full early learning continuum of services as part of his 2020-2021 state budget proposal.
