Analyst stresses importance of early education
If a high school senior wants to attend college and can’t afford it, there are numerous scholarships and financial aid options to help him or her get a good education.
But if a single mother of a 2-year-old wants her child to attend a quality child care center, there’s little available to help her pay for it.
The effects of that not only hurt mother and child, but it could impact economic development and your wallet as well, according to Rob Grunewald, an economist analyst from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
In his second stop in a four-city tour, Grunewald spoke Thursday evening to the Mary Black Foundation’s annual Trustee Dinner about how investing in early childhood development can yield public and private returns.
