Sharing Web Resources

From the PreKNOW website I was taken to the website www.ffyf.org.  This website is the First Five Years Fund.  It is a website that I have never been to before so I was kind of excited to explore.  The article that I looked at was about a letter of support from 500+ state legislatures urging the congressional budget committee to invest in early learning.  This article was mention in the article from the PreKNOW website. 

Becuase I was not familiar with them I decided to look at their mission statement about who they are:

Our mission is to create a smarter, stronger, healthier, and more productive America through early childhood education for disadvantaged children. Study after study by developmental specialists, neuroscientists, physicians, economists, and social scientists show that early childhood education is one of the most effective investments Americans can make in their children and their economic future.
The First Five Years Fund is committed to moving this knowledge into wide scale practice through comprehensive, quality early childhood education systems, programs, and supports. Through knowledge, data, advocacy, and collaboration, we help elected officials, business leaders, and philanthropists see early childhood education as a solution for dramatically improving education, health, social, and economic outcomes—in the short- and long-term. We help them understand how to craft policies, leverage existing funding, add new revenue, develop programs, and incentivize the most efficient and effective ways to invest in the development of America’s greatest resource—its children.
