The Rise of Accessibility in High-Quality ECE Programs in Philadelphia

        While researching how my home state of Philadelphia is addressing more accessibility to high-quality ECE programs I was able to find two great organizations that use data, partnerships, and research to access where more accessibility is needed and how they can make this happen. They do this by partnering up with Keystone STARS assessments of various ECE programs and other early childhood recreation sites such as the Free Library and Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse.

    It is important we have organizations like these that partner with our community resources to ensure high-quality programs and pathways for our young minds and their families. Having knowledge of where more resources and support are needed is the key to ensure that we raise accessibility to all members of our communities.
