Early Childhood Education |
Investing from the start to ensure a strong workforce
In the 40 years since CED first recommended investing in preschool, early learning programs have become widely regarded as an important step in preparing children for elementary school ready to learn.
As the United States faces unprecedented competitive challenges and a serious fiscal crisis, any comprehensive strategy to sustain economic growth must include a world-class education system. CED continues to remain committed to engaging business leaders in the advocacy of quality early learning programs from birth through third grade.
