Policy Brief: Economic Benefits of Investing in Early Learning

Wisconsin Council on Children and Families has just released an excellent policy brief on the economic benefits of investing in early learning. While created in Wisconsin, this document can be beneficial to any group across the nation looking for materials to present to legislators to inform them of the importance of investing in early learning.

The policy brief explores:
-the importance of early brain development
-the extraordinary research on the positive effects of high-quality early childhood programs,
-the strong return on investment from early childhood interventions, and
-implications for public policy.
