Early Matters is a statewide collaborative of business, civic, education, nonprofit, and philanthropic leaders dedicated to economic mobility and prosperity for all Texas families through strategic investments in policies and practices that support children from birth to age 8.
Why Early Childhood Education?
The extraordinary development that occurs from birth to age 5 forms the bedrock for lifelong health, intellectual ability, emotional well-being, and social functioning.
Children in high-quality early childhood environments are four times more likely to graduate from high school or college, enabling them to live choice-filled lives.
