Our Policy Agenda
Our Start Early Policy Agenda lays out our vision for policy and systems change that help create early childhood systems that promote quality and effectively meet the needs of the children and families who need them most. Grounded in our decades of work with children, families, the workforce, and systems leaders, as well as our efforts to advance equity, the agenda articulates views on critical early childhood issues and the policy levers we aim to pull at the community, state and federal levels across three areas: next generation program quality; building connected, comprehensive and equitable systems; and elevating family voice and the role of families.
