Description:
A Center for American Progress analysis of the latest budget proposals of governors from 49 states --as well as the mayor of Washington, D.C.--reveals that the nation's governors have proposed a combined $2.9 billion in new state funding for child care, preschool, and home visiting programs. This number is almost one-third of federal yearly spending on Head Start, and more than seven times that of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program, demonstrating governors' strong commitment to improving early childhood programs.
