We've Come A Long Way
We have made significant progress and identified scalable solutions, but we still have a long way to go.
Now we need public investment to achieve a child care system that works for all Vermont families.
JOIN DONATE TAKE ACTION
When we are successful in our mission:
- Access: 100% of Vermont families with children ages birth to five have access to regulated early care and learning opportunities that meet their needs
- High-Quality: 100% of children are in programs led by skilled early educators who are prepared for and well-compensated for their essential work
- Affordability: 100% of families who need it spend no more than 10% of their household income on child care
We are accomplishing our mission by:
- Engaging and empowering people to call for change;
- Reforming early childhood education policy to be inclusive, race-conscious, and culturally informed; and
- Implementing program solutions in partnership with early childhood educators to prepare Vermont’s child care system for increased public investment.
