Report: Maximizing Impact Under Any Structure: Governance Lessons from Local Early Childhood Programs

As a cumulative report as part of the Early Care and Education Implementation Working Group, Sarah Gilliland and Emmy Liss unpack the learnings gleaned from a year of convening a group of ECE leaders. The report provides foundational information about the design and governance of existing early childhood programs and offers insight that allows leaders to more effectively navigate and advocate within the constraints of their own governance structure. It includes a novel framework for how communities can think about locally funded initiatives, with six archetypes to help communities understand how structure impacts service delivery.
