Preschool Supporters

LAUP is partnering with elected officials throughout Los Angeles County to promote the importance of preschool, raise awareness and support opportunities to increase access to high quality preschool in the municipalities they represent. By supporting preschool, elected officials are taking action to ensure their youngest constituents are prepared for school and life. As preschool supporters, they recognize that children who participate in high-quality preschool are better prepared for school, more likely to graduate from high school, less likely to get involved in crime, and more likely to contribute to the economy. For these reasons, high-quality preschool is a wise public investment that yields social benefits and cost savings to the cities they serve.
