Every Child Matters

Welcome to Early Childhood Matters!
Thank you for visiting this site, in its infantile status, and offering your contributions to this all-important topic/dialogue.
During his campaign, Barack Obama hilited the importance of investing in the nation's children. I invite you to visit www.everychildmatters.org/obama to send President-elect Obama a message to consider the needs of children when writing his new budget. Please help encourage him to make spending on children an families a priority in that budget when he takes office on January 20th, 2009.
Let's all do what we can to sincerely make a difference!
Your friend at Early Childhood Matters,
LuAnn

  1. Yay, Luann! Thanks for starting this. I think we are poised to make a huge difference in early childhood. We are getting more research in that supports that early childhood experiences are important for later success and we have a government that supports early childhood. But we all have to continue to be active advocates. I look forward to more people joining and having great discussion.

    How do I invite some people I think should and would like to join?

  3. Welcome, Rosemary and Jessie!
    Thanks so much for being the first to respond and getting the ball rolling! I believe we are poised to make a huge difference in early childhood too...that was very well put. As far as others joining, I can give you administrative status and you can invite others and edit the blog as you wish. The more, the merrier! Let's get the word out there!
