Early Childhood Alliance

Provide Early Childhood Care and Education and Help Our Local Children Thrive

The Early Childhood Alliance engages, educates, and supports members, children, parents, and the community at large to prioritize accessible, excellent, and equitable outcomes for children in the Wasatch Back from the prenatal stage through age three.

The years from birth to age three are critical to a child’s development and lifelong success. When a child is not given the opportunity to develop to their full potential in these early years, the harm and consequent costs are borne over many years by the individual, the family, and the whole community. Many Park City 5-year-olds – particularly our low-income, minority, and English-language learners – are not considered ready when they start kindergarten.

Early Childhood Alliance Strategic Priorities

• Expand and strengthen access to affordable, high-quality childcare and education
• Build parents’ capacity as their child’s first and best caregivers and teachers through home visiting, referrals, services, and information
• Strengthen connections among all early childhood providers
• Make early-childhood care and education a community priority and increase government, philanthropic, and business investment in early-childhood programs

The Early Childhood Alliance is working to ensure that all children in the Wasatch Back have sufficient opportunities in the years up to age four to thrive, learn, and grow into participating, contributing members of our community.
