Many need help. But is there anyone more in need of help and blameless than a child under age 5 who, through no fault of their own, is unable to access the basic building blocks necessary to seize many future opportunities? #CloseGapsFirst #mnleg @GovTimWalz @LtGovFlanagan
If #mnleg & @GovTimWalz have $4.2 billion/biennium to help all young kids get early ed, great. If not, we must prioritize.

"Breaking the cycle of poverty.” Easier said than done. Here's a way to make progress, w/quality, targeted early ed that starts very early in life.

Not all of MN's early ed approaches are aligned w/research about closing achievement gaps. We need to follow the research.

“Equality is leaving the door open for anyone who has the means to approach it. Equity is ensuring that there is a pathway to that door for those who need it.” -– Caroline Belden

Why are 18 states guaranteeing that kids receiving child care subsidies be benefiting from early ed best practices? B/c quality is key for closing achievement gaps. MN must do that for vulnerable kids receiving CCAP.

Those who think most Minnesotans only care about themselves don't understand Minnesotans very well.

This commentary proposes early ed for all. If #mnleg & @GovTimWalz can't find an additional $4.2B/biennium to give quality early ed to all MN kids under 5, we must prioritize the low-income kids who are most likely to fall into achmt gaps. #CloseGapsFirst https://t.co/uwL2UY8OYJ
Many take quality early learning programs for granted.
But 35,000 MN low-income kids can't access it, so are most likely to fall into MN's worst-in-the-nation achievement gaps.
First things first.

MN's infamous achmt gaps open by age 1, & are happening on OUR watch. Let's make 2020 the yr we get serious about closing them! #CloseGapsFirst #MNEarlyLearningScholarships #mnleg @GovTimWalz @paulgazelka @melissahortman @CarlaNelsonMN @davepinto @EricPrattMN @_RyanWinkler
For American Indian children, achievement gap statistics are less available than for other groups. But the need in that community is very urgent as well.

How can MN leaders stretch limited tax dollars to serve the 35,000 low-income MN children who still can't access quality early ed programs?
Here's how:

Understandably, MN leaders tell early ed advocates that state funding is limited. With that in mind, here's why we must put young, low-income children first.
#CloseGapsFirst #mnleg @GovTimWalz @paulgazelka @melissahortman @EricPrattMN @_RyanWinkler

A huge majority wants their leaders to prioritize limited funds for our most vulnerable young children.
Anyone listening?

Early learning opportunity gaps for 35,000 low-income kids + legislative inaction = MN's worst-in-nation achievement gaps

If you saw a child in serious danger, would you help?
We need to start seeing THESE kids.
Start early. Low-income kids first. Insist on quality. #MNEarlyLearningScholarships

On early ed, time to seize the bipartisan, bicameral common ground --#MNEarlyLearningScholarships.
