Lawmakers urge Maryland to fund early childhood programs
Three dozen delegates from across Maryland signed a letter urging Governor Glendening to include 357 million dollars in the fiscal year budget for all day kindergarten and expanded early childhood education. They argue the investment will yield long term educational and social returns and cite research on the impact of pre school experiences on learning and achievement. The letter calls for steps including statewide credentialing, a public information campaign, and increased center funding to establish an early childhood initiative.
