EARLY LEARNING NATION COLLECTIVE
Harnessing the power of communities to help children prenatal to age 8 grow and thrive.
Who We Are
Early Learning Nation Collective (ELN Collective) partners bring together a wide range of expertise and lived experiences. We foster and support local decision-making that benefits children, families, and their communities.
Building An Early Learning Nation
All young children should have equitable access to the care, education, and support they and their families need. The ELN Collective is a growing network of local leaders and national partners collaborating to make this happen.
Get Involved In Your Community
When families, providers, and community leaders come together to support healthy child development, they can make their communities places where all children thrive.
Spotlights From Our Work
National League of Cities has launched ELN Cities in Action: A Capacity Building Initiative, which provides unique technical assistance for 10 city governments to develop an equitable Early Childhood Action Plan in partnership with the community.
Early learning and care practitioners are vital to an Early Learning Nation. This network of support, led by Save the Children, shares best practices along with workforce, business, and leadership development opportunities to improve childcare quality in rural America.
Parents and caregivers are powerful voices for children. Save the Children’s Family Engagement program organizes these advocates to secure lasting policy change that benefits young children.
A collaboration between UnidosUS, Start Early, and Save the Children
Phase I of this project included a national home visitor survey and interviews regarding the support of dual language learners, Latino father engagement, and early literacy in Latino Families. The next phase builds on those learnings, focusing on creating culturally responsive training for home visitors. These training courses will address the specific needs of dual language learners and enhance father engagement strategies.
