Make early learning a top priority

Preschool and early learning programs such as the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) help prepare children to be successful in school.

State lawmakers are considering legislation (House Bill 2731) to protect current funding for comprehensive preschool programs for three- and four-year old children. It would also set a goal of full implementation of an early learning program based on ECEAP standards and eligibility criteria by the 2017-18 school year.
