The Obama Administration’s blueprint for revising the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) includes supporting early learning. The report begins with this quote:
“It will be the goal of this administration to ensure that every child has access to a complete and competitive education—from the day they are born to the day they begin a career … because we know that the most formative learning comes in those first years of life.”
