Description
Parents are their children’s first and most important teacher. Having strong, informed parent voices is critical for their success. Early care and education programs have an opportunity to support the education of parents and empowering them to be advocates for their children in the child care setting and beyond. Creating and establishing parent advocacy groups can help organize parent voices and amplify their power in the community, state, tribal, and national landscape. As advocates, parents provide unique influence in early care and education programs, community movements, and policy development at the state, tribal, and national level.
This kit includes information about how a Parent Advocate Coalition works, what it costs, and information about how to get started!
