Save The Children:
The reason why I chose this international organization is because
they believe high-quality early childhood education is an investment this
country needs to make in order to give all kids a strong start. Save The
Children thinks if we have a comprehensive, national early childhood education
program would add $2 trillion to the annual GDP within a generation, according
to the Brookings Institution. Evidence-based, high-quality early childhood
education programs not only prepare children for school but also empower
parents to influence their child’s academic success.
Save
the Children Action Network is developing a comprehensive, national early
childhood education policy. We support efforts of the many governors, state
legislatures and local officials proposing policies to improve and expand
access to high-quality early learning programs for all children from birth to
kindergarten. Research shows that increasing the quality of early care and
education helps prepare children for greater success in school and in life
through higher levels of educational attainment, career advancement and
earnings.
We understand that
funding is a large hurdle in the debate. That’s why we are working to identify
innovative and viable funding mechanisms to support expanded investment in
early education nationwide. These financing mechanisms, such as public-private
partnerships, could provide the necessary resources to make universal early
childhood education a reality for all kids.
I think
by utilizing them as a Community of Partner will be credibility to my challenge
and allow me to extend my network and resources. To join this network you fill out a form to that
attaches your contact information to letters that then go to your state and
federal officials.
