WASHINGTON, D.C.- Congressman Theodore C. Jameson, in a press statement this afternoon, told the press that he recently introduced the “Universal Early Education for All Act of 2017″. The legislation calls for serious Early Education action, encouraging regions to create a Pre-Kindergarten program that will assist children in early learning. The bill provides grants to any region with a Pre-Kindergarten program that needs improvements in a wide range of categories.
“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 Regional early education programs varies significantly across the country. We need to make a strong and consistent plan to make sure regions remain in check with federal regulations so that children get the education they need.”
