Current Work

ELN Cities in Action Technical Assistance

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.

The Rural Child Care Network

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.

Centering Parents and Caregivers

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.

ELN Collective Multi-Lingual/Father Engagement Project

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.
