Impact
Early Education Leaders advances the field of early care and education from within, supporting educators as they cultivate their leadership skills. Through deep collaboration with educators, governmental, academic, philanthropic, and community partners, we are building the systems and infrastructure necessary to sustain growth in the early care and education field and support experienced and emerging leadership. We continually scale our programs to make leadership development and learning opportunities more equitably available field-wide. We prioritize equity with flexible pathways for success. We are creating real-world improvements for children and families. Our graduates have improved care and education experiences for over 15,000 children and their families across the country

They take on new leadership roles by starting their own programs and schools, implementing high-quality teaching practices, conducting cutting-edge research to advance the field, and advocating for policy and systems change. Our research shapes policy and practice locally and nationally. Read stories of change and impact on our blog.
