Focused on Giving Children a Strong Educational Foundation

A renewed commitment is needed to put our youngest children on the right track. Strengthening community-based early education and care should be an integral part of the Commonwealth’s long-term plan to invest in human capital to support growth and quality goals. While pre-school is a critical element of a child’s educational continuum, that continuum begins long before pre-K. Research has proven that children begin learning at birth.  It’s time community-based early education and out-of-school programs are recognized as essential elements of the education system.

We are Put Massachusetts Kids First

We are a broad-based coalition of more than 65 organizations across the Commonwealth focused on improving outcomes for children by stabilizing and strengthening the early education and care workforce.

Join us in telling Governor Baker and the legislature that our youngest children matter. We must commit to our future from the very beginning.
