‘‘SEC. 10002. FINDINGS. 
‘‘Congress finds the following: 
‘‘(1) Children’s experiences in the first five 
years of life influence the developing brain and have 
significant and lasting impact. 
‘‘(2) All children deserve access to high quality 
early learning experiences that can support their 
cognitive, social, and emotional development and 
help prepare them to succeed in school and in life. 
‘‘(3) Research shows that high quality early 
education programs can improve early reading and 
early math skills, decrease grade retention, decrease 
the need for special education services, and increase 
the likelihood that children will graduate from high 
school and become productive members of society. 
‘‘(4) The economic benefits of early education 
experiences are clear and providing parents greater 
access to high-quality early learning programs will 
benefit children, families, and our Nation. 
‘‘(5) High quality early education programs 
have well-trained and well-compensated teachers, 
small class sizes, a full-day program, comprehensive 
services, family participation, and a research-based 
curriculum that aligns with strong early learning 
standards. The quality of State early education pro-
grams varies significantly across the country.
