I would like to thank Representative Clark for yielding and for offering this important amendment. High-quality early childhood education sets up students for success throughout their lives and is a critical component of any education system. We should be doing all we can to support early childhood educators, to help engage families in early education, and to take steps to close the achievement gap before it opens. This amendment is an important step to building a strong foundation for our country's students. I urge my colleagues to support Representative Clark's amendment.
