Early Childhood Systems Working Together...
ZERO TO THREE and Pre-K Now released a joint report, Common Vision, Different Paths: Five States' Journeys toward Comprehensive Prenatal-to-Five Systems.
This new report articulates a common vision for early childhood systems in which programs work together to provide high-quality early learning and comprehensive services. Common Vision reveals lessons learned from five states' unique journeys toward such prenatal-to-five systems and identifies four cornerstones that have helped states succeed in this work. Advocates and policymakers will find guidance on how to build on the momentum around individual programs for the larger push toward systems that will benefit all young children and families.
A diverse group of funders worked together to support this publication in an effort to raise policymakers' awareness of early childhood issues, including: the Buffett Early Childhood Fund; the Annie E. Casey Foundation; the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; the David and Lucile Packard Foundation; and The Pew Charitable Trusts.
The report is available on the ZERO TO THREE website at or on the Pre-K Now website. Take a look. I thought is was pretty interesting...
