Congress invests in early childhood education programs in FY19. Read More
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.
No matter what happens on Election Day, we want the next governor of Illinois to 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) tonight congratulated Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo for winning the Democratic nomination for governor and endorsed her for re-election in November.
Early education, starting at birth and continuing until a child’s first day of school, is a critical window for ensuring future academic achievement and overall well-being. That’s why SCAN is endorsing Governor Raimondo for reelection as governor and is strongly supporting her in the Democratic primary.
“We are proud to support Gina Raimondo, a proven champion for kids in the Ocean State,” Kris Perry, president of Save the Children Action Network, said in an endorsement announcement slated to be released Wednesday.
