Highest Quality Early Childhood Development through Honoring Relationships Rooted in Equity and Social Justice

New National Partnership with the Institute for Educational Leadership


The Family Development Program has launched a new national partnership with the Institute for Educational Leadership (Washington, D.C) to support early childhood leaders who are working together through community schools and other collective impact initiatives to change outcomes for our youngest children and their families. The aim of this collaborative leadership initiative is to provide support for leaders who have made a commitment to work together in new ways to overcome inequities that perpetuate poor outcomes for children and their families. As national attention increasingly focuses on the importance of investing in early childhood, we recognize that a missing link is strengthening community-based leaders who can cross-boundaries within the complex systems that serve very young children, ensuring that all children have opportunities to thrive.
