Early childhood education has an enormous impact on children’s ability to achieve their full potential. While the need for high-quality early childhood educators is greater than ever, too many barriers prevent prospective teachers and experienced early childhood caregivers from completing relevant college degrees. The EarlyEdU Alliance® transforms early childhood teacher preparation by closing the opportunity gap through a collaboration of early childhood experts and stakeholders working to provide high-quality college degree programs that are accessible, affordable, relevant, and effective for current and prospective early learning professionals.
