Desc	High quality early learning lays a foundation for a strong future. But too many young children don't get a chance to build the fundamental brain architecture that allows them to thrive in school and in life. In the 2017 legislative session, Children's Alliance led thousands of members from all across Washington to advocate for policy solutions that close gaps in racial equity and open up brighter futures for Washington's children. In response, lawmakers invested in early learning by expanding the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program, boosting access to quality preschool that closes the educational opportunity gap.
