2026 Policy Agenda Roadshow

Starting in spring 2026, Zero to Five Montana hit the road for our 2026 Community Conversations: Policy Agenda Roadshow. This was an opportunity to talk state policy and engage directly with Montanans to elevate policy opportunities, uplift stories, build advocacy skills and develop relationships. We are so grateful for our early childhood partners in Billings, Bozeman, Dillon, Fort Peck, Helena, Libby, Lodge Grass, Miles City, Missoula, Hamilton & Arlee for welcoming us into their communities, as well as those who attended our virtual conversations.Your participation and your voices are essential in this collective work to make Montana the best place to raise a family.

Child Care Business Owners & Parents: Your Input is Essential


We are conducting two surveys to gather additional input to better understand early childhood challenges across Montana and identify opportunities for solutions. The surveys below are confidential and take about 10–15 minutes to complete. To thank you for your time, all completed surveys will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 gift card.

Your perspective is important and will help shape our advocacy efforts!
