Working to Raise Awareness about Early Care and Education
As a member of the Texas Early Childhood Education Coalition (TECEC) and the local One Voice Collaboration, the Collaborative for Children is working with our partners in the Greater Houston region to identify opportunities and obstacles to expanding access to high quality early care and education and to develop strategies for engaging the public and policymakers.
With the help of our partners at the local, state and national level, CC will continue to advocate for quality early care and education, promote opportunities for education during the 2007 legislative session, and advocate for policies that support the children and families in our community during this upcoming Session.
