We’re defining the ideal child care and making the ideal real.

The child care crisis in the U.S. is long-standing and well documented. WeVision EarlyEd is a catalyst for making the ideal child care real — as defined by those navigating the current child care system: families, educators and administrators.

Their ideal child care:

  • Focuses on what young children need to grow and develop
  • Is viewed as a public good and supported by appropriate federal and local funding
  • Provides clear, affordable child care options for all families
  • Guarantees consistent, predictable quality with appropriately scaled regulations
  • Shares decision-making and governance with families, practitioners, and government

WeVision EarlyEd is designed to guide necessary conversations, shift outdated mindsets about child care, demonstrate that the ideal is possible, and advocate for transformative policy changes.

The Work:
Making the Ideal Real — Right Now

A real-world testing ground to demonstrate that the ideal child care system, as defined by proximity experts, can be made real — right now.
