2020 Impact Report

2020 has been a year unlike any other, bringing a fast upending to our lives, known routines and sense of safety and certainty. The challenges have been immense, and the fallout of the pandemic along with the national stage of racial injustice tested us in ways unimagined.

Yet in the midst of this, we saw adaptability, perseverance, resilience, empathy and innovation. In our world of early childhood, we witnessed a rallying cry for highlighting the long unseen and under-appreciated value of early child care and education providers. Compiling this report filled us with gratitude for the creative problem solving, talent and hard work of our teachers, staff and researchers in meeting the needs of children and families. And we are grateful for all of our partners in this work as we collectively seek to more deeply understand early education challenges and commit to equitable opportunities for all.

Thank you for being a part of this. We are excited to share this report with you, and we wish you a time of health and rest as 2020 comes to a close. We look to 2021 with hope and determination.
