The National Education Association joined the ranks of educators pushing to add early learning to the debate over reforming the No Child Left Behind Act and called for mandatory all-day kindergarten and universal access to pre-kindergarten.
The 3.2-million strong teachers union outlined the economic benefits of quality early learning – children who attended quality preschool earned $2,000 more a month as adults according to one study – and endorsed professional development for child care educators, in a letter and materials sent to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
