Maximizing Impact Under Any Structure: Governance Lessons from Local Early Childhood Programs
A research report that defines different local early childhood governance models and explains how communities can choose and design governance structures to support effective early care and education systems.
This resource examines how cities and counties across the United States have structured governance for local early childhood programs, identifying six archetypes of governance and mapping where they are in use.
It explores the operational strengths and challenges associated with each model and provides a framework to help local leaders ask key questions when designing or refining governance approaches. By organizing governance lessons and examples, the report aims to help program leaders, provider groups, school districts, and policymakers build stronger, more coherent local early childhood systems.
