Throughout the fifth anniversary of Let's Move!, the First Lady has been encouraging everyone across the country to #GimmeFive ways they are eating better, being more active, and leading a healthier life.

This week, many of the First Lady's followers have been challenging her back, and a few days ago, the President challenged her to #GimmeFive "FLOTUS-style."

Tell Us: Why Do You Think Early Childhood Education Is Important? 

Monday marked 50 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson created Head Start -- a program to help meet the emotional, social, health, nutritional, and psychological needs of preschool-aged children from low-income families.

President Obama has made clear the importance of expanding access to high-quality early childhood education -- but we also wanted to hear from you and get your feedback.

Here's what you told us:

"As a retired teacher, I have seen the difference early education makes, especially for children who come from homes where they have not been read to or engaged in conversation."
-- Glenna W. from Candor, NY
"My daughter has been a part of parent-participation programs from the ages of 1-3 years old. She just completed her first year of preschool. Early childhood education is so very important to me as a parent, as I know it will stimulate her cognitive, emotional, social, and motor development."
-- Melissa D. from Kaneohe, HI
"Children are at their learning peak/prime when they are one (1) to five (5) years old. Therefore, the earlier they are introduced to learning things, the better and brighter their future will be. Enabling our children to grasp and retain necessary learning objectives at a young age will only make them better adults, citizens and our future leaders. We must do all we can to teach our children when they are most eager to absorb all they can."
-- Arnold B. from Houston, TX

Share with us how early education made an impact in your life, or the life of your children -- and why you think we should make it available to more of America's children.
