Why Would Businesses Invest in Early Childhood Education?
"Here in Wisconsin, we need to invest in early learning. Too many kids come to school unprepared to learn,
which leads to higher dropout rates, a lagging workforce and a damaged economy. We can invest now, or pay later."
President of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, Tim Sheehy
