This insightful article by Charlie Coffey, of RBC Financial Group, uses research and business savvy to present a compelling case for increased corporate leadership and investment in early childhood education and care.
'Whether it's big business or small business, kids are everybody's business,' says Charlie Coffey. Coffey is convinced that the voices, talent and energy reading this report have the power to advance a system of early childhood education and care that will be successful for children, families and business.
The article identifies early childhood education and care as a crucial but missing factor in improving education and ultimately developing a prosperous worldclass workforce.
It concludes by asking for business to step up to the plate, stating that 'In today's world, where education and skill levels determine future earnings, the economic and social costs to individuals, communities, and the nation of not taking action on early childhood education are far too great to ignore, especially when the benefits far outweigh the costs.'
