Elevating family voice to shape the future of early childhood programs and policies
In 2021, the Early Childhood Advisory Council created the Family Voice Council as a designated platform where families can provide insights and feedback about programs designed for young children. At monthly meetings, council members hear from public program staff and share feedback and ideas for improvement. The council also receives regular updates on how their suggestions are making a difference.
If you are a public program representative and would like to participate in listening sessions with family leaders, we invite you to inquire about possibly presenting and receiving feedback from the Family Voice Council.

Family Voice Council members represent all regions of the state and a wide range of experiences, family compositions, household incomes, professional backgrounds, and viewpoints. Meet our current members here.
