For 40 years, thread has had the privilege of working with Alaska’s families, communities, and early childhood educators to advance the quality of early childhood education across our state. From our start in a small closet in Anchorage to our growth into a statewide organization that serves communities from Ketchikan to Utqiagvik, our work has always been rooted in the belief that every child deserves the strongest possible start.
We invite you to join us in celebration of 40 years of strengthening child care in Alaska with a gift to thread’s $40 for 40 Years Campaign!
When you give to thread, you are helping families find trusted child care that meets their unique needs.

Thanks to donors like you, thread will continue to:
- Help families find affordable, high-quality child care

- Advocate for policies and funding that strengthen the child care sector
Together, these efforts help build stronger communities and a stronger future for Alaska.
Investing in Alaska’s Future
Child care is essential for families, communities, and our economy. When children have access to high-quality early learning experiences, they are better prepared for school and life. When families can find reliable child care, they can participate fully in the workforce. And when early educators are supported, the entire system becomes stronger.
For 40 years, thread has worked to connect these pieces and build a stronger early childhood landscape in Alaska.
With your support, we can continue this work and expand opportunities for the next generation of children and families.
