Advocacy Action Plan

I plan to write about the importance of Early Childhood Education. I learned from my interviews and personal knowledge that Early Childhood Education programs are undergoing serious cut backs and are losing funding. I also learned from a teacher in the primary grades that children who attend preschool are far more ready for kindergarten . Children who attend preschools are more likely to have a head start especially when it comes to literacy. This information brings me to the importance of maintaining funding for effective Early Childhood Education programs. My questions for colleagues would be: what makes an effective preschool program worthy of funding? what funding sources are available? and what can we do to assure the preschool programs are funded? I hope to gain knowledge that will allow me to assist the Early Childhood Center I work for to maintain and gain funding so children are ready for Kindergarten.
