Well: "we’re in luck. Our economic future and our children’s future can be significantly improved by expanding high-quality early childhood education programs, such as pre-K education."

Early Edge Montana
Quality early childhood education is an investment not just in education, but in Montana’s economic future. If we want a prosperous Montana with a workforce that can compete for the jobs of tomorrow, we must invest in the children of today.
Montana is one of only eight states with no state investment in preschool programs. With every dollar invested in quality early childhood programs yielding $7-$9 down the road, business leaders have much at stake and can play a critical role in advocating to give Montana’s youngest learners an early edge.
