Quality early care and education (ECE) has far-reaching effects beyond children and families. It has a positive and lasting impact on communities, too! ECE promotes educational success, economic stability, reduced crime, improved health, stronger social connections, and more. So, it’s easy to see—when we invest in ECE, we invest in the well-being of children and the vitality and prosperity of communities.
