Lauren strongly supports shifting Tennessee's funding for Education Freedom Scholarships to early childhood education funds and budget measures that expand affordable early childhood education for families in Tennessee. By transferring private school voucher funding to expand early childhood centers, Lauren will add 50,000 daycare and preschool slots across the state by 2030. These funds will support businesses that offer on-site daycare, while the state's investment will grow the workforce, expand the economy with dual-income households, and relieve financial pressure on growing families with young children.
