Messaging inspired by a new report

Albert recently shared a UNICEF report with us that included some terrific, well-written quotes. In support of all our efforts to continually refine and strengthen our messaging, I wanted to post some especially noteworthy ones.
The following few quotes have been selected from a report comparing 25 OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) nations' early childhood policies. Though they may need tweaking to be more directly about pre-k, I hope they inspire new messages that help us all to make the case!
"Today, care without education is not care."
"No challenge makes a more legitimate claim on societies' ingenuities and resources than the task of using what is now known about early childhood development to ensure that all children have the best possible start and the best possible chance to become all that they are capable of."
"Whether the child care transition will represent an advance or a setback -- both for today's children and tomorrow's world -- will depend on the wisdom of the response."
"Good child care is an extension of good parenting."
