Investing in Early Childhood Education: Essential for Today and Tomorrow’s Military Community

According to the Pew Research Center, more than 40% of active-duty military personnel are parents, with over half of those having children under the age of 8. Additionally, 30% of new military recruits come from a family where at least one parent was in the military. Supporting current military families with high-quality early childhood education builds stronger communities for today and tomorrow.
