The evidence is clear: our children MUST be Virginia’s TOP priority.
- 52 percent of children entered kindergarten unprepared in literacy, math, self-regulation and/or social skills (VKRP 2021).
- Children who attend higher quality programs enter kindergarten ready to learn, live healthier lives, are LESS likely to repeat a grade, and are MORE likely to graduate from high school.
- Early education is the starting point for the pipeline that fuels our K-12 and higher education systems, which ultimately drives economic growth, innovation and investment throughout Virginia.
- Virginia Voters are concerned that children are entering kindergarten not ready. The VKRP data resonates with Republicans, Democrats and Independents.
