Overview

This slide deck presents findings from The Shortchanged Project's preliminary FY2024 analysis of public investments in early care and education. It highlights funding gaps across age groups, differences in state investments, and more than $10.4 billion in state ECE spending not captured in national reporting. The presentation also explores how states are investing in early learning and how more complete funding data can inform future policy and investment decisions.
