Excerpts from the report:

Early Childhood Education for All: A Wise Investment brings together research and state experience on the critical importance of early care and education to children&emdash;and also to taxpayers and those concerned with economic development. It sets the stage for new ways we can meet the need for high quality early childhood education for all children.

[This report] brings together the work of leading economists to provide clear data on the importance of addressing this issue to the economic growth and productivity of our country. It breathes new life into our efforts, and I recommend this report to all those looking to improve the lives of our children and make sure that the country is prepared for a vital economic future.
