Check out the StarTribune editorial Turning Child Care into Preschool published in Tuesday's paper. The editorial outlines some of the innovative projects going on around the state through the Minnesota Early Learning Foundation (MELF), as well as other state investments.
One of our challenges is to show the legislature the big picture of how early childhood programming works for families. The legislature needs to see a broad system of early childhood care and education and to put resources into funding the whole system, not just bits and pieces for a few kids here or there. As Ready 4 K moves forward, one of our tasks is to simply show how this system works in Minnesota and how it can be improved.
What do you think? What do you see as important components of an early childhood system in Minnesota?
