WE CAN MAKE AMERICA EVEN GREATER, AND HELP ALL PEOPLE BECOME THEIR BEST SELVES
What's more important than all our children and their families?
We are the government's "customer" - and it's OUR money they spend. They need to stop wasteful spending, and redirect some of our tax dollars and invest in America's families.
The problems shown above, among others, are the result of people not learning essential personal life skills, which should start at birth as a part of quality early learning, and continue from grades K-12 as a routine part of education.
THERE IS A COMMON-SENSE BUSINESS SOLUTION

Reducing government waste and eliminating programs that do not benefit all Americans

So what is this crisis?
It's a CHILDCARE (QUALITY EARLY LEARNING) CRISIS, and it affects most American households with children under 5 years old and impacts our national economy to the tune of about $121 billion annually.
When parents cannot find or afford quality care for their preschool children, they often simply don't go to work. This affects not only their family's financial stability but also negatively impacts the national economy due to unfilled job vacancies. Additionally, childcare centers cannot pay their staff a living wage that will attract and keep good employees because doing so prices the centers' services outside of most parents' affordability.
Just as when public education was mandated in America for children from grades K-12, it's time to address the need for quality early learning so that ALL children, not just the poor, have access to a quality early education which is:
-
-
-
paid for from our tax dollars
-
run by the private sector
-
administered by each state
-
and measured, monitored, and rated by outside third parties to ensure excellence.
-
-
If we include quality early learning as part of our education system for ALL children from birth to age 5, it would level the playing field for every child -- regardless of where they live or their family's income level -- and improve the individual achievements of every child in our nation.
This would also have a profound effect on struggling families and their finances, as well as on our national economy
