The Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD) acts as a catalyst to create a collective impact and support the early learning and care of our nation’s children and their families. ECD strategies will include: communication (ECD consistently communicates, within the organization and across HHS, an established set of values and norms that promote the importance of early childhood development across programs), coordination and partnerships (ECD develops governance, structures and champions that enable coordination across ACF, HHS, and other federal agencies; and mobilizes a network of public and private partners to support early childhood development), sustainability (ECD aligns its initiatives across ACF to institutionalize and make the established values and norms sustainable), and resource sharing (ECD provides resources to states and communities to facilitate cross-service and cross-sector coordination).
