From NCSL, this brief provides an overview of state early childhood advisory councils; including state examples and information on new federal investments.

In most states, early childhood coordinating entities have been created to advise governors, legislators, and/or

entities vary in size, scope, and authority, they all have a similar mission to improve the coordination of
programs and services for young children and their families.
