Early Childhood Education in California Takes a Step Forward

The Commission’s draft report, which quotes PACE’s Getting Down to Facts II report, Early Childhood Education in California, contains detailed recommendations in nine key areas based on the input received, review of current and past proposals, lessons from other states, and models in California. The report reflects a comprehensive framework and calls for significant reforms around equity, two generation polices, and a laser focus on our children and families and the early care and education workforce.
