1. Reduces options for families: When government funds school for three and four year olds, it takes from private daycare/preschols the age groups most profitable to running the daycare business.  The bottom line, private day-cares close their doors becasue simply caring for infant - 2 year olds is not economically feasible to maintain the business.  Is government interested in getting into infant/toddler care?

2.   Legislation like 2009, SB 191 Opens the door for Statewide Universal Preschool for all 3&4 year olds. All indications are that any bill the legislative body considers can be easily amended to replicate the universal system other states have. 

 3.  Estimated Costs start around $25,000,000.  At a time when K-12 is struggling to maintain funding, is this time to expand government education?  Funding requests could start in 2009!

4.  What's best for children.  Documented studies show Moms are the #1 educator for early-childhood. 

  Govt' funded preschool supports greater involvement of the government in families.  Parent/Child relationship is critical in early childhood development.  This gives incentive to alternatives to parenting, government funded school for 3&4 year olds.
