Early Edge California
Founded in 2003, Early Edge California is a nonprofit organization focused on transforming Early Learning and Care at a systemic level through targeted policy change and investments. Our goal is to positively impact the lives of all young children through access to Early Learning and Care options that support their unique needs.
Our Mission: We advocate for accessible, high-quality early learning and care for all, especially in under-resourced communities, with a primary focus on babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Through targeted advocacy and policy development, we champion culturally affirming, multilingual environments for children and promote the professional growth of teachers and trusted caregivers, establishing a foundation for community resilience and economic mobility.
