Business Champions for the Advancement of Early Childhood Education
Research shows that a high-quality early education (birth to 5) instills a strong foundation of cognitive and social skills in children, making them more likely to graduate high school, attend college, and achieve greater lifetime earnings. CED’s “Business Champions for the Advancement of Early Childhood Education” are featured throughout our website, in podcasts, and during events that drive this important message, investments, and key strategies forward in the nation's interest.
In addition, CED collaborates with state and local business leaders to increase the quality of, and access to, early childhood education through public and private initiatives; leverage partnerships with national, state, and local policymakers and like-minded organizations; and, create a digital forum to highlight innovative practices and expand the national conversation.
