Early Childhood Funding: Birth of an Issue
It's a startling statistic: Minnesota Department of Education research shows that more than half of kindergartners lack the basic language, math and social/emotional skills they need to succeed in school. Research now shows that learning begins in infancy, and the quality of care that children receive before starting school has a lasting impact on their futures. Many Minnesota foundations have made it a priority to do whatever they can to help fill the gap created by a decrease in government funding.
