Parent Coalition
Early Childhood Stakeholder
The Early Childhood Stakeholders are individuals, organizations, and/or groups that
have a vested interest in the success and welfare of the early childhood outcomes of our
community. This includes all parties that are directly affected by the success or failure of a child ages 0-8 years and their families, as well as those indirectly affected.
