2.1.1: Early Education
Other Information:
Early Education Background: * Increases high school graduation rates. * Reduces likelihood of going to prison. * Half of low-income
children don't have access to current preschool or head start programs. * Existing Child Care programs have been slashed by
100,000 slots since Great Recession. * Currently, middle-income families face high preschool costs. * Currently, Transitional
Kindergarten only serves ¼ of 4 yr-olds... California families will benefit from improved programs and universal access to
quality Early Education, which will improve academic performance, put children on the road to success, and dramatically reduce
future costs in other areas of the budget.
