Early Learning Nation Collective Action Guide and Assessment Tool

Center for the Study for Social Policy

The Early Learning Nation Collective’s Early Learning Community (ELC) Action Guide and Assessment Tool is designed to support local leaders through a process of assessing how well their community is currently supporting early learning and healthy development and developing an action plan to make improvements. When parents and early childhood leaders from early care and education, health care, and family support services come together to identify actions they can take at the program, neighborhood, or system level to strengthen their communities and support healthy child development, they can make their community a place where all children thrive.
