Help provide quality preschool
According to the National Institute for Early Childhood Research, almost half of all 3-year-olds and a third of all 4-year-olds in the United States are not in preschool because many parents can’t afford it.
Studies show preschool can help reduce behavior problems in elementary and middle school. It also makes it more likely that students will graduate from high school and go to college.
