Day 2: The StrongStart Program: Investing in Early Learning
The StrongStart program, which offers free early childhood education for children from birth to five, is crucial for preparing students for kindergarten. SD 43’s decision to close three locations due to budget cuts is a step in the wrong direction.
Actionable Steps:
Push for the reinstatement of StrongStart programs to ensure all children have access to early learning.
Increase awareness of the program’s benefits so more families can advocate for its expansion.
