State Rep. Deborah Blumer joined Senate President Robert Travaglini, representatives from the Romney Administration, members of the Early Education for All (EEA) Campaign and the Massachusetts Association for the Education of Young Children (MAEYC), and preschool children from the Ellis Memorial Children's Center at the State House to recognize the 2006 "Week of the Young Child."

Travaglini read to the children in attendance, officially acknowledging the week's celebration.

The Week of the Young Child, established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) in 1971, highlights the importance of families, early childhood professionals, and communities working together to support every child's healthy development and early learning.

Blumer demonstrated her commitment to Massachusetts' young children by wearing a commemorative teal-colored ribbon. EEA has distributed 5,000 teal colored commemorative ribbons across the state to commemorate the Week of the Young Child, asking people to help spread the word that high-quality early education - at home, in the classroom, and in the community - prepares children for success in school and life.

In honor of The Week of the Young Child, many state senators and representatives are visiting early education programs in their communities to read books to the children.

EEA recently celebrated unanimous House passage of An Act Relative to Early Education and Care (H.4755). This landmark legislation creates the Massachusetts Universal Pre-Kindergarten program, a voluntary high-quality early education program for all preschool-aged children and their families in the Commonwealth. The bill should be voted on in Senate in the coming weeks.

The Early Education for All Campaign, an initiative of Strategies for Children, Inc. and organizers of the event, is a coalition of leaders from business, early childhood, organized labor, education, religion, health care and philanthropy working together dedicated to make high-quality early childhood education available to every three-, four-, and five-year old in Massachusetts.

Strategies for Children is a non-profit organization specializing in public policy, advocacy and constituency building. The mission of Strategies for Children is to improve the well-being of children and families by moving their issues to the top of the agendas of communities, states and the nation.
