Texas Early Childhood Coalitions Focus Groups Summary

The Texas Early Childhood Interagency Work Group is committed to centering the voices of families and communities impacted by local community, state, tribal, and federal policies and practices. The group asked BUILD Initiative to organize focus groups to learn about the early childhood coalitions’ experiences in meeting the goals of young children, families, and communities; services and practices that work or do not work well for families and populations the coalitions serve; and how the state could enhance its relationship with and responsiveness to early childhood coalitions.
