2020 Election
Save the Children Action Network announced the results of a national survey that identified Democratic primary voters’ desire to hear more from presidential candidates on the issue of access to child care and preschool.
South Carolinans overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education.
This is key because research shows the first five years of children’s lives are critically important for their development.
We’re committed to ensuring all children succeed in school and life.
Save the Children Action Network announced the results of a national survey that identified Democratic primary voters’ desire to hear more from presidential candidates on the issue of access to child care and preschool.
We are voters, and we believe that increasing access to high-quality early childhood education is the best way to ensure equal opportunity for all kids.
Nearly 1 in 5 children worldwide live in conflict zones. This means 420 million children are at risk, dealing with threats from bullets, bombs and starvation.
The renewed willingness in Congress to address the increasing costs and demand for child care facing working families should be encouraging for the people of South Carolina.
For many years, South Carolina has ranked at the bottom nationally, and several districts in the state are struggling to meet the needs of their students. Well, now the legislature is taking a deeper look into those problems starting with the earlier grades.
