ANOTHER "REAL" DIFFERENCE FOR "REAL" FAMILIES:
IMPROVED CHILD CARE AND EDUCATION
While this mother is hard at work, she can rest assured that under the Gore-Lieberman plan, her
toddler is at quality child care center being supervised by a licensed provider, her 4 year old is
enrolled in a high-quality preschool, and her 8 year old is in a smaller class with only 18 children.
She also has a better teacher because of the Gore-Lieberman plan to test every new teacher and
assure every teacher is fully qualified.
