About us
Early Learning Nation is an independent magazine devoted to early learning (0-5 years), reporting on groundbreaking research, early learning policy and best practices in the field. Our mission Early Learning Nation magazine creates journalism from, and for, the early learning field. Our journalists have unique access and insights to the challenges and successes of all-things-early-childhood, and we publish stories that support policymakers, researchers, scientists, advocates and families in creating equitable and groundbreaking work in their communities and lives. With the shuttering of independent news providers over the last five years, and the loss of so many education and early childhood beats in the outlets that do remain, our communities are hungry for information—and connection. Early Learning Nation magazine publishes work from all over this complex landscape, including: * Groundbreaking research from the science of the developing brain * Case studies in policy and advocacy that demonstrate winning strategies * Interviews and deep dives with authors, practitioners and innovators And so much more. You can follow along with our work by signing up for our monthly newsletter, joining us on Substack, following us on LinkedIn and other social media, or viewing our interviews from our pop-up Early Learning Nation Studio on our YouTube channel. We’re glad you’re here.

When we ask if women can have it all, not only are we asking the wrong question, but we unfairly place the onus on individual women to singularly overcome all the structural barriers and odds to climb the ladder. Samhita Mukhopadhyay argues in her new book that the cultures of leadership and ambition have to change, and Haley Swenson of Better Life Lab at New America sat down with her to talk about it: https://lnkd.in/gRUJk6YD

Rebecca Gale explores philanthropy-funded #ChildCare journalism, including The 19th, The Hechinger Report, Baltimore Banner, and, my personal favorite, Early Learning Nation.
Hi! Did you miss our webinar on the Future of Child Care Reporting, featuring the talented reporters Chabeli Carrazana, Jackie Mader, Mark Swartz and Leslie Gray Streeter? Here's a recap for you: You don’t have to work in journalism to know that the field is changing rapidly. Newspapers are continuing to vanish at an average rate of more than two a week. Since 2005, the country has lost almost 2,900 newspapers, including more than 130 confirmed closings or mergers over the past year. According to data from the State of Local News Report from Northwestern University, if we continue on this current trajectory, by the end of next year, the country will have lost a third of the newspapers it had in 2005. Unfortunately, the growth in alternative news sources—digital and ethnic news outlets, as well as public broadcasting—has not kept pace with what’s being lost. There’s a lot we stand to lose with less local journalism: fewer local journalists, fewer watch dogs, fewer hard-hitting stories to hold governments, businesses and people accountable for their actions. Also, fewer beat reporters. This is why I was joined by four other journalists who cover child care as part of their work for a webinar, entitled: The Changing Nature of the Child Care Beat, from Leading Independent Journalists Who Cover It, which was co-hosted by the Better Life Lab at New America and Early Learning Nation. Here are 8 of the top takeaways from our conversation:

Check out this great piece published in Early Learning Nation featuring NDBN CEO, Joanne Samuel Goldblum, the Diaper Bank of Greater Cleveland, and Emergency Infant Services highlighting the issue of diaper need, the invaluable work of diaper banks, and why some proposed policy solutions are not endorsed by NDBN.

Journalism is experiencing some of its deepest hardships structurally since its inception, and when we lose the news, it's harder to make good policy happen. Here's what several of our favorite journalists working on the #childcare beat had to say about the current state of the industry, and where we go from here, in a recent webinar we co-hosted with Better Life Lab at New America. https://lnkd.in/ejmqSFHB Featuring Jackie Mader (The Hechinger Report), Chabeli Carrazana (The 19th) Leslie Gray Streeter (Baltimore Banner), our own Mark Swartz, and moderator Rebecca Gale of Better Life Lab.

Unacceptable: Nearly HALF of families surveyed by the National Diaper Bank Network last year reported not having enough diapers to keep their kids clean, dry and healthy. The impacts of diaper need ripple out through a family in devastating and unexpected ways--and no, simply switching to cloth diapers isn't the answer! Elise Anderson reports on this avoidable crisis: https://lnkd.in/gpwD4afV Featuring Joanne Samuel Goldblum of NDBN, Nakeisha Wells of The Diaper Bank of Greater Cleveland, and Jacky Escobedo of Emergency Infant Services.
