Building Vermont’s Future From the Child Up

Building Vermont’s Future From the Child Up represents a multi-year effort to explore and develop recommendations for the future of early care and learning system in Vermont. This process originated with the Blue Ribbon Commission on High Quality Child Care, continued with the Building Vermont’s Future from the Child Up Summit process, and concluded with the work of Building Vermont’s Future from the Child Up Think Tank.  

This work is grounded in the belief that investing in Vermont’s youngest children is the key to the long-term well-being of the state’s families, communities, and economy, and that making such an investment also requires looking at new opportunities in the way Vermont delivers, funds, and governs early care and education.

The recommendations of the Building Vermont’s Future from the Child Up Think Tank represent concrete, actionable steps that inform the development of our early care and learning system toward a future that will serve Vermont’s children and families for generations to come.
