Early Childhood Education (ECE) Collaborative

We know that high-quality early childhood education has lifelong impacts for our students. The Early Childhood Education (ECE) Collaborative is focused on ensuring students have access to high-quality, developmentally appropriate early childhood education to prepare them for PreK, elementary school, and beyond. The ECE Collaborative is the only forum in the nation for early learning leaders at state education agencies to collaborate, sharpen their skills, and expand their knowledge on early childhood education policy and practice. We are early childhood education directors and specialists who believe that every step in a child's education journey matters, and we're committed to helping children become the great students and citizens we know they can be.
