**Every child deserves an excellent start! ** At the Early Excellence Project, we believe that equity, empathy, and continuous improvement are the keys to unlocking the full potential of childcare providers. We empower caregivers by: Providing them with the resources they need to succeed. Fostering a culture of collaboration and support. Encouraging ongoing learning and growth. Together, let's build a brighter future for all children! #EarlyExcellence #ChildCare #Equity #Empathy #ContinuousImprovement P.S. Want to learn more about how we're supporting childcare providers?

Did You Know Allegheny County has lost 22 Child Care Programs since 2019? Early Childhood Education (ECE) professionals deserve higher pay! Did you know ECE teachers earn an average of $29,000 per year? This does NOT cover the cost of living in ANY county in PA. The Early Excellence Team advocated at the State Capitol in Harrisburg on June 3rd in support of "Imagine A Day Without Child Care." We are committed to influencing the childcare landscape and supporting policy change that helps to attract and retain more teachers in ECE. It is our privilege to speak up and spread awareness regarding the importance of ECE.
