You know the back-to-school routine.

It starts with the television ads talking about the newest styles and school supplies. And before you know it, kids are grabbing their backpacks and heading into a new year in the classroom.

Congress is heading back, too. And at the top of their to-do list is an early education funding bill that could have a big impact on thousands of kids like Sam.

​Click here to send your Representative back to Washington with an urgent reminder: Our nation's children need that funding!

The Early Learning Challenge Fund represents a historic first-time federal investment in state early education - providing $1 billion every year over the next eight years. This is funding that could make a huge difference for states struggling to protect their pre-k resources during the recession.

Research indicates that every dollar spent on high-quality pre-k is worth up to $7 in benefits. But, as budgets are being cut across the country, thousands of families are feeling the impact - and thousands of kids like Sam might lose their opportunity to go to pre-k.

We can't let Congress miss this opportunity to make a smart, forward-thinking investment in early education for our three and four year olds.

Send your member of Congress back to Washington with a strong message of support for early education funding!

With your help, we'll pass this historic legislation and continue to expand access to high-quality early education programs across the country.

Thanks for taking action!
