Congress Receives Urgent Message on Early Education Investments

Early education should be "an integral component of America's economic recovery," according to a letter delivered today to the Joint Economic Committee. Written by Libby Doggett, executive director of Pre-K Now, and delivered as members convened for a hearing on "Economic Recovery: Need for Growth and Stimulus," the letter challenged Congressional leaders to consider the impact of their decisions as they evaluate what constitutes pro-economic growth spending and what doesn't.
