We applaud your editorial board ("Getting Preschool Education Right," editorial, Feb. 16) and David Brooks ("When Families Fail," column, Feb. 15) for calls to carefully consider President Obama's proposal to expand quality early care and education. In New York City, where we have the largest publicly financed early care and education system in the country, we recently launched EarlyLearnNYC with best-practice elements that could be a model for the country.
Rather than "glorified day care," EarlyLearnNYC demands more professional development for teachers, rigorous performance standards, the use of a developmentally appropriate, research-based curriculum and measurable outcomes. Our model maximizes a combination of federal, state, city and private money.
Our EarlyLearnNYC providers have been charged with preparing our city's youngest residents from our lowest income communities for success in school and in life.
Washington lawmakers must take the long view now, investing in better prepared children for school tomorrow and the labor work force for the decades ahead.
