The House Resolution commends the Ready Louisiana Coalition, a bipartisan organization established in 2018, which consists of over 180 businesses, chambers, advocacy groups, and early childhood education professionals. The coalition advocates for increased investment in quality, affordable early care and education in Louisiana, emphasizing that such investments are crucial for preparing students for future success, enhancing workforce productivity, and driving economic growth in local communities. Research highlights the importance of early childhood experiences in brain development, with 90% of brain growth occurring from birth to age four, underscoring the need for accessible early education to ensure long-term positive outcomes for children.

In recognition of the coalition's efforts and the significance of early childhood education, the resolution designates May 20, 2025, as Early Ed Day at the state capitol. It acknowledges the challenges faced by families, particularly those of color and those living in poverty, due to the lack of quality early education options, which not only affects children's development but also impacts the current workforce in Louisiana. The resolution aims to raise awareness about these issues and promote the importance of investing in early childhood education for the benefit of future generations.
