Early Learning Alliance

WHO WE ARE: The Early Learning Alliance brings together child-serving organizations, philanthropic leaders, public officials, health, education, and early educators; researchers; parents and caregivers to support Tarrant County families. WHAT WE DO: Leveraging data and community connections, the Alliance works to understand the needs of local families and children from before birth through age five. We collaborate to address roadblocks in child development, and advocate for better early learning systems. We are committed to making Tarrant county the best place to grow up for all children, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender or income. We know that quality early experiences lay the foundation for a child’s success in school and later in life. OUR IMPACT: Since our launch in 2013, we have increased the number of quality child care programs in Tarrant County by 140%, completed developmental screenings for young children, articulated and incentivized an early educator career pathway, and elevated the voices of parents, caregivers, and child care providers in local, state, and national advocacy efforts. CALL TO ACTION: There is still work to be done, and it takes all of us to make Tarrant County the best place to grow up! Will you join us?
