As the political voice for kids, we’re engaging communities and policymakers across the country
to ensure children have a healthy and strong start in life.
By advocating for high-quality early childhood education and ending preventable child and maternal deaths,
our advocates are making a lasting impact in the lives of children around the world.
Being well-nourished is essential to kids’ development. They can’t grow up healthy and strong if they struggle to get basic nutrition. Ask your members of Congress to provide more funding for SNAP so our kids have enough to eat!
SCAN commissioned a bipartisan polling team to conduct survey research among general election voters in five states to gauge their opinions about early childhood education and early intervention policies.
In addition to general election voters, SCAN conducted interviews among both Democratic and Republican primary voters. The results showed that legislators and candidates looking for issues with broad appeal that can meaningfully improve the lives of their constituents should invest in our youngest learners and early intervention programs.
