A resolution recognizing the need to invest in the future success of Kansas by supporting the wellbeing and education of our youngest residents.
This Senate resolution designates February 5, 2025, as Early Childhood Advocacy Day in Kansas to highlight the importance of investing in young children's development. The bill formally recognizes the need to support the well-being and education of the state's youngest residents, as well as the parents and caregivers who look after them.
