Montana Early Childhood Network
About the Network
To increase coordination and build collective impact, Montanans working to improve the early childhood system in our state are uniting to form the Montana Early Childhood Network to ensure young children and families in Montana are prioritized in decision-making at all levels.
We know early childhood is a crucially important period of growth and development – the experiences and relationships we form in our earliest years have a lasting impact throughout our lives.
The Montana Early Childhood Network is a diverse and unique group including individuals, organizations, and coalitions who care about a robust and supported early childhood system in Montana.
