Because quality ECE programs are staffed and built around knowledge of child development, they are providing a critical protective factor—a support system that builds strong families.

High quality programs promote child health and safety by understanding the challenges their families are facing, connecting them to local resources or assisting them in creating and maintaining healthy environments for their children.

As ECE programs struggle to stay open during the pandemic, the lack of care impacts child well-being, family financial security and economic recovery.
