American President Joe Biden is making childcare and education a major concern of his administration. In his first address to a joint session of Congress on April 29, Biden proposed a $1.8 trillion spending plan to expand government support for children, families and education. The plan, called American Families Plan, includes $200 billion for free pre-school for 3 and 4-year-olds. The president said, “research shows when a young child goes to school not daycare they are far more likely to graduate from high school and go to college or something after high school.” He added, “no matter what background they come from, it puts them in the position to be able to compete all the way through 12 years.” Preschool, also known as pre-kindergarten or pre-K, is a program to help children with the beginning steps of learning and socializing. Daycare centers focus more on caring for children than learning. Rebecca Anguiano teaches preschool at an elementary school in Washington, D.C. The classes are bilingual. They are taught in both English and Spanish. She said students who attend two years of preschool have done better than those who have not. Anguiano said, “If they miss those two years, it’s kind of catch-me-up for them. I definitely feel that starting earlyespecially at a bilingual schoolis key for a lot of success.
