2027 Legislative Session
2026 Policy Agenda Road Show
Starting in spring 2026, Zero to Five Montana hit the road for our 2026 Community Conversations: Policy Agenda Road Show. (You can read about our 2024 road show here.) 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.
We are hosting a virtual meeting: Summer Roadshow Recap: What we Heard & What’s Ahead
Sept. 24 at noon
Join us to learn more about what we heard around the state during our 2026 Policy Agenda Roadshow, showcase some recent polling results, and share what policy priorities we will be advocating for during the 2027 Legislative Session!
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!
