Closing the Opportunity Gap
We know from more than 60 years of early childhood research what quality early care and education looks like and how it benefits children throughout their lifetime. We work to translate this knowledge into practice to close opportunity gaps for young children facing persistent economic and social disparities—because all children deserve the opportunity to succeed.
Elevating the Early Childhood Workforce
We know that early childhood professionals play an essential role in ensuring the health and vitality of our children, families, and communities—and they need to be well to do well. We seek to improve the skills and well-being of those working with children from birth through Grade 3 by ensuring they have the professional support they need and the respect they deserve.
