As the leader of an early education nonprofit, I was encouraged to see President Joe Biden plan a significant investment in our youngest learners in his proposed American Families Plan, which now has been rolled into the Build Back Better Plan that may be voted on this week. The potentially $200 billion investment could be a generation-defining sum to help children in our country. However, with the focus solely on brick-and-mortar pre-K solutions, I fear the plan likely will not reach all of the children who need it -- both now and once the program has been fully implemented.
