But a national nonprofit organization released a study Tuesday that says high-quality early care and education is a serious player in the Kansas economy, too. The study says every dollar invested in early care and education generates $1.68 in short-term spending on local goods and services. “You don’t have to wait for 20 years for that economic benefit to Kansas,” said Susan Gates, national director of America’s Edge, which released the study at the Hiersteiner Child Development Center on the Johnson County Community College campus.

Gates and local business leaders used the study to call on lawmakers to not cut programs that affect children age 5 and younger. 25 Napping Facts Every College Student Should Know.
