Every politician should see this! Excellent overview of impact of high quality early education and why it should be accessible to all children who need it.
I'm excited to share this video with my introductory early childhood education class. What a great way to begin a conversation about the importance of quality care!
This same one-on-one interaction, language, play, healthy environment, can also happen in the home with a mother or father who aren't stressed. Children aren't doomed if they don't go to something like the Abecedarian Project.
Thank you for this strong clear message providing another tool to mitigate and prevent adverse childhood experiences and early trauma. In the real world, not all parents or caregivers are able to provide what we know every child needs to grow up healthy and happy. Well done!
Healthy environments, language interactions, warm relationships-that speaks to every child's home-from in utero to birth to three. Then, at age three they begin pre-school with early childhood teachers. I agree Head Start teachers should be considered on par with K-12 teachers with pay and benefits. But, the first teachers for most newborns are their parents. There needs to be a huge investment into Home Visitation programs for first time parents-directly from the hospital maternity ward. There needs to be ROI (return on investment) studies on Parenting education classes for first time parents before the first child is born as part of a home visitation program. And these should run all the way up until the age of three at a minimum-or age five better yet. Kathleen, thanks for your push in the right direction. Yes, keep the energy going!
Thank you for your comment, John. I agree 100%. Families need support from conception on, and HV programs should be universal and high quality -- setting the stage for healthy development and learning. Best wishes!
Excellent information and updates. Great job, Kate! High Quality Care is key for children! Higher compensation is crucial for early educators who educate and care for our youngest and future leaders.
Outstanding presentation that presents us with current lasting data about the high quality ECE programs. I will be sharing this with my students along with others in the ECE community. There are some great nuggets shared in this worthy of further conversations and advocating for high quality! Well done and thank you.
Excellent. Love this quote 'Healthy children do not come pre-assembled. Work is required.'
Centre for AAC - University of Pretoria Thank you. We have a lot of work to do -- to make sure our children are well!
This is what every politician should watch. Amazing points, I was in tears by the end of it.

I so agree, Pam. I does take a village to raise a healthy child - and to support healthy families and ECE professionals. Thank you for your post!
