From Investment to Impact: Strengthening Early Childhood Systems

This video highlights the Early Childhood Developmental Health Systems: Evidence to Impact Center's work with Colorado, Maui County, and Washington to help families access the services they need.

High-quality early childhood services can help children and families thrive, but accessing those services often depends on how well programs, providers, and community resources work together.

The Early Childhood Developmental Health Systems: Evidence to Impact Center supported three Implementation Sites in Colorado, Maui County, and Washington as they worked to improve their local early childhood systems. With flexible funding, tailored resources, technical assistance, and opportunities to learn from one another, the teams strengthened partnerships and infrastructure, elevated family voices, expanded the workforce, and advanced innovative approaches to serving children and families.

This video shares perspectives from team members about what this work makes possible – from creating new opportunities for collaboration to testing approaches that reflect community priorities and learning from strategies developed in other communities.
