Rhode Islanders overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education.
This is key because research shows the first five years of children’s lives are critically important for their development.
We’re committed to ensuring all children succeed in school and life.
Now that we know who will represent us in Congress, we need to ensure that they make investing in high-quality early childhood education a priority. Programs like preschool, high-quality child care and voluntary home visiting transform children’s lives.
Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) CEO Mark Shriver tonight congratulated Gina Raimondo for winning re-election as governor of Rhode Island.
The midterm elections are rapidly approaching and there’s a lot at stake, particularly when it comes to early childhood education. As a student at Brown University, I believe we must elect leaders who will expand learning opportunities – particularly for children.
As we head into a critical midterm election, we each must do our part to elect a leader who will invest in our future. As an early education specialist for SCAN, I believe that person is Gov. Gina Raimondo.
