As 2025 unfolded in unpredictable ways, Start Early Consulting and our partners moved swiftly to navigate a rapidly shifting federal landscape. Together, we adapted in real time, mobilized strategically, and remained steadfast in our shared commitment to strengthening early childhood systems.
Our 2025 Insights & Impact Report highlights how collaboration and expertise translated into meaningful action and measurable progress for state and community systems.
Inside the report, you’ll find:
- Examples of responsive support grounded in deep federal policy expertise and state and local advocacy — helping partners address urgent challenges with clarity and confidence
- An innovative approach to community systems mapping, shaped by insights from diverse pilot partners seeking to strengthen their local systems through intentional data-informed, decision-making
- System and policy wins advancing stronger early childhood systems across the country
In 2025, we were honored to partner with public sector leaders and advocates across 49 engagements spanning 22 states and 17 communities. In the year ahead, we look forward to deepening this work — and hope to count you among our partners.
