Advocacy Center
The early childhood education industry plays a vital role in Alaska’s economy, supporting working families and employers. It is key to Alaska’s economic recovery from the pandemic.
Across Alaska, thread is working with early educators, families, and partners to increase attention and focus on early childhood education, helping to stabilize the industry after the pandemic while looking forward to building a better system.
To increase advocacy capacities at the local and state levels, thread participates on the Alaska Early Childhood Advocacy Group (AECAG) with Best Beginnings, Association for the Education of Young Children Alaska affiliates, the Alaska Head Start Association, Alaska Infant Learning Professionals Association, Parents as Teachers State Office, and All Alaska Pediatric Partnership.
