Across all levels of the organization, we strive to foster a workplace that honors diversity and embeds inclusive practices into our decision-making and our internal and external work. We are dedicated to co-creating a culture where the presence, voices and ideas of our staff and the communities we serve are represented, heard, valued and acted upon.
We believe that lasting well-being for all children and families requires addressing persistent barriers to opportunity—including challenges related to economic mobility, community safety, access to quality health care, stable housing and environmental health. Together, we can build stronger systems that support every family’s ability to thrive.
Our mission to ensure a bright and just future for every child begins with acknowledging that each family is shaped by unique experiences and histories—some marked by trauma that spans generations. Many families, particularly those living in communities left under-resourced, still lack access to the quality early learning and care experiences that help close the opportunity gap.
For over 43 years, Start Early has been dedicated to creating a future where all children and families can thrive and prosper. We are uncompromising in our pursuit of excellence and remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring inclusive, high-quality programs and practices are accessible to all children and families.
We approach this critical work listening with humility and in authentic partnership with families. Through our deep expertise in program, policy and research we are well-positioned to lead meaningful change in multiple aspects of our field–with a focus on building stronger, more inclusive systems where children, families and educators can thrive.
