Hillary Clinton (click here) embraced her new role as a grandmother and her longer-term one as a child advocate on Monday, offering up proposals on early childhood education including doubling funding for Head Start.
It was Clinton's first set of policy proposals kicking off a summer of planned rollouts. Speaking at a YMCA in Rochester, N.H., Clinton revealed some details of the approach she’d take if elected, including the goal of ensuring that “in the next 10 years every 4-year-old has access to high-quality preschool.”
Clinton, who formally launched her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination on Saturday, said she hopes to double funding for Head Start and for the early Head Start grant program, and supports a middle-class tax cut “that can go toward helping parents pay for quality child care.”...
Republicans always want to say this is Democratic politics. Okay, but, these politics are based in fact.
We know it is BEST for the American children to start early with mandatory Pre-School. It is a fact and the former Secretary knows exactly how successful pre-school has been. There aren't empty policies with her. Her policies are founded in strong and proven facts and has a direct dividend to the preparedness of Americans for taking on real life strategies.
Rubio isn't running for President, he is running for Vice President.
This is only one critical study regarding the education of young children.

Abstract— Research evidence (click here) supports the importance of a high-quality early education to foster young children’s school readiness and success. In particular, programs that focus on eliminating the readiness gap for young minority children, including dual language learners (DLLs), have increased in importance given the current demographic shifts in the United States and the need to promote learning in the early years. This article discusses current knowledge about effective instructional strategies for promoting language and literacy development among young DLLs. It presents a brief summary of research on the relationship between oral language and literacy development, reviews instructional practices and language of instruction approaches, and concludes with recommendations for policy and future research.
