Supporting Prenatal-to-Three with Federal Relief Funds: Early Childhood Education
This webinar featured inspiring state and local leaders from Bend, Oregon; Louisiana; and San Diego, California who seized the opportunity from ARPA. Louisiana, represented by a public sector leader and an advocate leader, partnered with providers and families to design a comprehensive approach to early care and education that has many transformational features in key areas of access, quality, rates, compensation, and more. The Bend Chamber of Commerce worked in collaboration with higher education and others in the local community to leverage federal relief resources to tackle supply for early care and education. In San Diego, First 5 San Diego played a key role in persuading the county to create an ECE-specific federal relief strategy to expand family access, address behavioral needs of young children, and support child care providers.

As states re-vision quality systems with a focus on improvement, equity, empowering flexibility, and strong engagement with providers and families, there is opportunity to ensure a cohesive system across the age continuum, including how services complement and expand into school-age youth development. Alignment of resources, collaboration among partners, funding, investment, leadership, and sharing best and promising practices all matter. In this session, state leaders from New York, Nevada, Utah, and Wisconsin shared their insights on incorporating out-of-school time (OST). Wherever your state is in supporting programs to build continuous quality improvement in OST services, there is something for you to share and learn in this session as we explore what’s next within our context.
