CandL is a cross-sector, multidisciplinary, inclusive coalition of families, communities, grassroots organizations, early childhood organizations, funders, businesses and early care and education providers. We are committed to working with families and communities to engage their strengths and address their values as we reimagine and rebuild early care and education in North Carolina for all children, regardless of zip code.
We will secure additional funding and investment, ensure early childhood educators and providers of all kinds are compensated and supported as professionals and execute a strategic legislative and policy agenda to build a publicly-funded system where all children have access to safe, affordable, high-quality care. This work will be equitable and inclusive, centered around family voice and lived experience, and will provide equitable access and opportunities to each North Carolina family, so that all children will be more successful in life.
CandL Needs a Facilitator to Help Move to the Next Phase
CandL recently shared an update on feedback from pilot listening sessions with child care providers and families and is now hosting a series of sessions across the state. Once these sessions conclude, the Family/Community Engagement Team will gather at a retreat to debrief on the information received. This retreat will be held Tuesday, November 22, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at The Enterprise Conference and Event Center in Winston-Salem.
