About the Early Learning Crisis
600 thousand children under the age of 5 are in child care in the U.S. We can change the course of their lives with quality care and early learning. Up to 90% of brain development happens before the age of 5. Research consistently shows only half of children enter kindergarten with the necessary skills for success. That means the other half are at risk. We’re working to change that.
