Florida's leading voice on early childhood

We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan movement of Floridians advocating for the policies and investments that help each child in Florida thrive in their first five years. We amplify the voices of parents and educators, engage elected officials, and highlight the role of business leaders.

Children are our future and we can make the biggest difference for them in the first five years.
