The Authors: In December of 1999, Laura Bush inaugurated CIRCLE to serve as a premier center for early childhood research and initiatives. Since its inauguration, CIRCLE has established itself as the national leader in the area of early childhood development.  In December of 2002, Texas Governor Rick Perry designated CIRCLE as the Texas State Center of Early Childhood Education and thereby delegated the responsibility for implementing the Texas Statewide Early Childhood Initiative.
