Is early childhood education just a social service, or is it the economic engine of the Lowcountry? 🤔

In our latest blog post, TCC Trustee Jody Levitt breaks down why high-quality early education is a "blue-chip" investment—yielding a public return of up to $16 for every dollar spent. With federal pandemic-era funding lapsing, the stability of our local workforce is at a critical juncture. From town leadership to local employers, we all have a role to play in keeping ECE accessible for working families.
