The Financing of Early Care and Education: A New Resource
Foundation for Child Development Grants in Action

New America recently released Transforming the Financing of Early Care and Education: A Multimedia Guidebook ([link removed]) , which highlights a vision to strengthen financing for early care and education (ECE) in the United States and adds context to important concepts discussed in Transforming the Financing of Early Care and Education ([link removed]) (National Academies Press, 2018).

Explore this useful resource of videos, interactive tools, infographics, and other materials that provide in-depth information regarding financing early care and education. It poses vital questions and summarizes complex information that can help policymakers as they consider approaches to financing high-quality early learning experiences.

The Guidebook offers these key sections:
* “Current Financing for Early Care and Education: Financing a Highly Qualified Workforce ([link removed]) ” summarizes the status of the workforce and poses key questions for policymakers.
* “Behind the Numbers ([link removed]) ” breaks down the modeling assumptions the Financing Report Committee used to estimate the $140 billion per year cost of a high-quality ECE system.
* “Putting it into Context ([link removed]) ” compares U.S. and international ECE financing using economic indicators and benchmarks.
* “Learning from States and Other Countries ([link removed]) ” highlights actions to increase compensation for the workforce and to improve ECE quality, access, and affordability.
