Beyond Sub-Prime Learning

New America, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy institute, recently published an impressive policy brief on early education in the United States, "Beyond Subprime Learning: Accelerating Progress in Early Education." 

The opening of the report expresses its vision:

"We want America’s children to become life-long learners who are able to think critically and inventively, regulate their emotions and impulses, and make smart decisions by drawing upon a rich knowledge base about how the world works.  Realizing this goal begins with ensuring a seamless continuum of high-quality, easily accessible early education for all families.  Each year of their lives, children and their families should have the benefit of ascending a sturdy, well-lit staircase of development and learning rather than navigating disconnected and uneven platforms where they can easily fall through the cracks."
