Early Edge California is a nonprofit organization working to advance policy changes and investments that will expand access to high-quality Early Learning and Care programs. Our work is guided by the vision that all children birth to age 8 should receive high-quality, racially, ethnically, linguistically, and culturally responsive early education, enter Kindergarten ready to learn, and thrive through 3rd grade and beyond. Since 2003, Early Edge has been a leader in Early Learning and Care policy in California, advocating for: high-quality universal preschool (including Transitional Kindergarten); an asset-based approach to identifying and supporting Dual Language Learners (DLLs); promoting investment in the professional development, training, and compensation of Early Learning and Care teachers and caregivers; supporting informal care providers, such as Family, Friend, and Neighbors (FFNs); and expanded access to care for infants and toddlers. Our policy priorities are informed by those community and stakeholder voices most impacted.
