Despite what the research tells us about the ways in which high-quality early care and education supports children’s healthy growth and development, U.S. leaders have failed to adequately invest in this sector. As a result, quality care remains unaffordable and inaccessible for many children and families. Early childhood educators across all settings—who are disproportionately women of color—are vastly undercompensated for their critically important work.
​
Together we will create just and equitable solutions.
DC AEYC, Northern Virginia AEYC and Maryland AEYC are pleased to announce a new cohort that will work together across the region. We are now recruiting early childhood educators working in family child care, in child care centers, and in school-based preschool and Pre-K programs.
This new 30-member cohort will work together from October through February to build community and a network for advocacy, and create a shared policy agenda.
This regional advocacy initiative will be rooted in collaboration and coordination, peer learning, and educator voice. Come and shape the community!
