Check out the State of Preschool 2007 to see how your state measures up to other states’ when it comes to funding preschool for three and four year olds. 
Not surprising to me… the report notes that 22% of all four year olds in America are sent to preschools paid for by state government or federal government funds. And some politicians say we will fund how many three and four year olds if elected? Coughing wildly over here… 100%! Yes – it goes something like this… “if I am elected we will have preschool not just for SOME of our children but for ALL of our children.” Read the report and you tell me – am I missing something? How could this be possible?
Don’t get your hopes up folks! Remember this old saying… “if you want it done right… you better do it yourself.” Children have the ability to learn the most between birth and age five and we (parents) have the obligation to make sure they are given the opportunities to do just that… no matter the sacrifice. You are your child’s first teacher and favorite toy – early education is the key!
