The Early Care and Education Consortium (ECEC) is a nonprofit alliance that brings together national, regional, and independent providers delivering high-quality child care and early learning for young children. It functions as the primary national voice for child care providers in policymaking spaces, seeking to influence laws and funding related to early education. Its work includes meeting with lawmakers, providing testimony to Congress and the Administration, and building coalitions with other child development groups to address the full spectrum of the child care system. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the organization operates as a relatively small nonprofit focused on advocacy and policy development for the early care and education sector. Recent activity includes participating as an industry keynote at the 2022 SHIFT Childcare Leaders Conference and collaborating with Next Step Adventure to connect local produce with early care centers.
