Join NLC’s Early Childhood Success for a town hall-style event that explores how elected leaders can support early childhood successes in their communities.

As we enter a new chapter for federal early childhood policy, this session will explore effective strategies for local elected officials to strengthen early childhood systems, featuring insights from municipal leaders who have successfully championed these initiatives in their cities.

You’ll hear firsthand experiences from elected officials on how they are navigating the political landscape to build upon sustainable opportunities to support the early childhood sector and receive updates on federal early childhood policies and their local implications.

This interactive session will provide concrete actions municipalities can take to support early childhood success in 2025, with opportunities for Q&A and peer learning. This is an opportunity for local elected officials and municipal staff to gain practical insights and connect with others committed to advancing early childhood outcomes.
