Kids Matter

When we take good care of all children during their early years, they grow up knowing how to communicate, how to respect one another and how to work together. They grow up to be adults who can make positive contributions to society.
By supporting quality education and care for all kids, you help pave the way to a successful community future. Work to support quality early childhood education and care because when you do, kids will:
  • do better in grade school and graduate from high school at a higher rate;
  • be less likely to engage in delinquent behavior during their teenage years;
  • be less dependent on social welfare programs as adults;
  • become better employees, earn higher wages and give back more to the community.

Six things you can do to support kids in community.

  • show support for individuals who care for young children, and for programs that offer them specialized training in early childhood education and care;
  • create a partnership with a local early childhood program by offering your time, expertise, resources and/or financial support;
  • make your vote count on behalf of young children and their families;
  • open up your workplace to an early childhood field trip;
  • recommend that employees be granted release time to visit or participate in their children's programs;
  • recommend that employees have access to benefits that support their families.
