State Preschool Investments Rising
November 6, 2007
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections.

"In fiscal year 2008, high-quality, voluntary, state-funded pre-kindergarten again received substantially increased financial and legislative support from lawmakers in the majority of states. New state pre-k funding exceeds $525 million, an increase of more than 12 percent over FY07 expenditures, bringing total state investments in early education across the country to $4.8 billion.
"One of the most important aspects of this strong pre-k momentum is the spirit of bipartisanship that characterizes legislative work on the issue. In 2007, nearly half of increasing states did so by cooperating across party lines within the legislature, between the legislature and governor, or both. This collaboration, so unusual in today's contentious political environment, is fueling a movement the Wall Street Journal recently called 'one of the most significant expansions in public education in the 90 years since World War I.'"
