Dodd, Christopher J.; Castle, Michael N.

Two members of the U.S. Congress share their visions for infants, toddlers, and families. Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Education and Early Childhood Development, Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, advocates shifting priorities and resources toward young children and families and discusses The Act to Leave No Child Behind and the Family and Medical Leave Act (1993). Congressman Michael Castle (R-DE), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Education Reform, House Committee on Education and the Workforce, emphasizes the interconnection between all aspects of development in young children and the importance of the early years and discusses the purpose of Early Head Start.
