High-quality early learning experiences help children thrive. To support each child’s learning and development, early childhood educators must have knowledge and skills grounded in the latest research and practice. Unfortunately, too few educators working in the field today can access effective and relevant professional development in a way that fits with their careers and lives. The EarlyEdU Alliance® brings together higher education faculty and policymakers to create accessible and equitable pathways for early learning educators to get the professional development they need to help young learners reach their full potential.
