Children and their families deserve access to affordable and reliable early learning and care options that promote whole-child development and support family well-being. Moving toward a mixed early-learning delivery system can help make this a reality for California families.
Join the California Budget & Policy Center to learn more about the state’s current early learning system and how policymakers can strengthen the workforce and support a transition to a mixed-delivery system that better supports whole-child development.
Participants will hear from researchers, advocates, and providers about their efforts to build affordable and reliable early learning and care services that meet each family’s unique needs.
A mixed-delivery system is a combination of programs, providers, and settings that allow families to choose the option that best meets their needs, such as the location, hours, and curriculum.
