Thank you for your interest in the Early Childhood Education Caucus. The bi-partisan, bi-cameral Early Childhood Education Caucus has set a goal to protect and preserve state support for quality programs which promote health and educational development for our at-risk children. Early childhood education is a worthy investment which will continue to pay huge dividends to Pennsylvania communities and our state’s overall economic well being.
The Early Childhood Education Caucus was created in March of 2010. We continually work to reaffirm our commitment to provide the resources that give many Pennsylvania children an extra boost that helps them succeed in school and later in life.
If you are interested in Early Childhood Education initiatives, we encourage you to get involved and follow what the Caucus is doing.
Sincerely,
Senator Pat Browne & Representative Mark Longietti
