In 2018, early childhood advocates from Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Bentio counties created the Central Coast Early Childhood Policy and Advocacy Network. The group formed to build a common vision for early childhood policy and maximize a variety of organizational strengths. With current levels of early childhood funding diminishing, now is the time to focus on developing strategic coordination to influence policy for children and families. The Central Coast Early Childhood Advocacy Network's Guiding Principles can be found below. Access the Phase I report here.
