The Senate 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 children for future success, enhancing workforce productivity, and driving economic growth in local communities. Research highlights the importance of early childhood experiences in brain development, indicating that 90% of brain growth occurs before the age of four, and that children who receive quality early education tend to have better long-term outcomes in various aspects of life.

In recognition of the Coalition's efforts, the resolution designates May 20, 2025, as Early Ed Day at the Louisiana State Capitol. It underscores the critical need for accessible early childhood education, particularly for children of color and those from low-income families, as the current lack of quality options adversely affects families and the workforce. The resolution aims to raise awareness about the importance of early education and its impact on the future workforce and overall community well-being. A copy of the resolution will be sent to Sadie Becnel, the Government Affairs Director and General Counsel for the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children.
