Early Learning Exchange
The Importance of the Early Years
We know that every child has the capacity to learn, but not all children have access to the learning opportunities to reach their full potential. Learning in the early years provides the crucial foundation for lifelong learning. Effective early learning programs provide a supportive environment with responsive relationships that enables children to build knowledge, express ideas and work through challenges. And, access to effective early learning programs empowers children to thrive and families and communities across Indiana to prosper.
A New Way of Collaborating
As the ecosystem in Indiana continues to fluctuate, we have an opportunity to focus on the things that matter most for children. The Early Learning Exchange gives us a space in which community-based organizations, early learning providers and other system stakeholders can easily come together to discuss, ideate and address key issues and opportunities. Using both informal, organic conversations and structured exchanges of best practices and innovations, we can learn from one another - and best support positive outcomes for children’s kindergarten readiness.
