Investments in early learning care leads to three lasting impacts
Advancing Children
Giving our youngest learners the start they need to learn, grow, and develop – and setting them up for academic and economic success.
Supporting Caregivers
Supporting economic mobility for those within the early learning workforce (and their children and families) and developing a pipeline of essential workers.
Supporting Local Economies
Bolstering economic and community development by supporting employed parents and by seeding the next generation of workforce talent.
Choose Children Partner Organizations
All Choose Children Partner Organizations have taken the CHOOSE CHILDREN PARTNERSHIP PLEDGE that captures our shared beliefs and commitment.
