The Children's Forum answers the call to fill needs in the early learning system by bringing expertise across programs, research, and policy.

The Children's Forum promotes policies and practices that support healthy growth and development of children in early learning and afterschool environments. The Forum accomplishes its mission in several ways including conducting research and evaluation studies and administering programs aimed at improving the education, compensation and retention of the early childhood and afterschool workforce. Information found on the Forum's pages is intended to share information and inform our audience on relative issues.
