This is where is begins - perpetuating the agenda through the extremely young, perpetuating the "need" for large and intrusive government, funded by more and more of my tax dollars, continuing the generations of families dependent upon the government to survive... only the revolution will put and end to this and restore representative government.

Children can't choose which family they are born into and each child deverves the same experiences. This program helps children from the very young become school ready. We need to have more programs for children as they are our future. This country needs a drastic change and by starting with children young we have a better chance for the future.

If you know somebody who pays for day care or preschool, ask them how much they pay. This is a huge subsidy that should require legal residency to receive.

I agree with what you say, but you should understand the unfairness of giving families that came here illegally thousands of dollar in subsidies that are not available to struggling families that have always lived here. If you want to be equal, then all children and families should get this subsidy regardless of income.

If Santa Cruz Educator is really an "educator", then all is lost.
