It's time families start learning to take responsibility for their own lives and stop depending on government to solve all their problems. Universal Preschool is just one more step toward Socialism.

I firmly believe that children all learn at their own pace and that forced academics are bad for children. I am currently organzing a home daycare providers fair in my town for daycare providers to strut their stuff and show parents that we offer thier kids more than institutional daycares/preschools.

I am interested in stopping the universal preschool legislation here. I have already spent ten years as an anti-public-school activist, so I am already totally familiar with the enormous failings of the system that our government intends to expand.

I feel increasingly passionate that we who value family time and do not want the government designing family structure need to be more alert to the bizarre politics arising to threaten our freedom of choice, freedom of lifestyle, and freedom of religion. Because you lose all three when the government has control of your little ones for 8 or 9 hours a day!!! I also feel that all the current push to get equal pay for moms, jobs for all mothers etc. ignores the importance of stay-at-home moms.

Living and learning with our children with little outside interference is a valuable freedom to protect. Certainly, some programs might be helpful to families, but we must remain vigilant that these programs are optional and that they don't become required putting those who don't choose to use them in the position of finding a way to opt out.
-Early learning and child care to income-eligible children, and effectively eliminates Head Start.
-Establishes a program to support ECE (preschool) programs offered by school districts and educational service centers to serve preschool children whose families earn up to 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.
