In her article, "4 Good Reasons Why ECE Is Not Just Important, But Essential," in the May issue of Exchange, Anne Mitchell, outlines four arguments on the value of early childhood education — the moral argument, the workforce productivity argument, the brain research argument, and the return on investment argument. In the article, which can be downloaded for free from our web site, and that should be in every early childhood professional's advocacy tool kit, she additionally observes what we all know about our work...

As early childhood educators and advocates, we know that early childhood matters. It’s what we do every day with children; it’s our life’s work, and for many of us, it’s our driving passion:

• We know that learning happens through relationships.
• We know that social and emotional development is directly linked with intellectual development.
• We know that positive early learning experiences lead to later success in learning.
• We know that families are the strongest influence on young children and when early childhood educators partner with families, children do better.
