“There must… be a concerted effort by the broad community to make universal early childhood education a pillar for Hawai‘i’s future. We recommend that a state office be created to help coordinate this effort, knowing full well that much energy and resourcefulness from citizens, businesses, and government
agencies will be needed to make this a model for the future.”
