Early Ed Watch has a great breakdown of the Early Education agendas of both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

You can find them here:

• Primary Watch: Barack Obama's Early Education Agenda


• Primary Watch: Hillary Clinton's Early Education Agenda

I have become much more engaged with the needs of early care and early education in recent months, and my job has places me directly in the middle of early care and early education policy in Illinois.

Study and after study after study shows the need for investment in this country's children, and even more so, the very young children. Our development does not start when we get to kindergarten or first grade. Our development begins immediately at birth, and our society needs to be willing to invest in this development.

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are willing to do so, though in different and distinct ways. We cannot say the same about John McCain.
