Members of Congress Showcase Bipartisan Support for Early Learning and Care
In recent months, members of the House and Senate from both parties have visited early learning and care providers across the country – highlighting their support and the importance of high-quality early childhood opportunities for children from birth through age five. These visits allow Members to witness first-hand the care and educational experiences that support the healthy development of America’s youngest learners, while raising awareness about the importance of federal investments in programs that also support local communities.
