"Despite the nearly unanimous findings about early learning, our country ranks third-to-last amongst all developed nations for enrollment of three- to five-year olds."

"What can be done to support the continuity between early learning and K-12? What more can we do in our state and nationally?"

"I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this hearing highlighting the importance of early childhood programs."
