Early childhood leaders:
Connect with researchers
- Find information to answer your questions.
- Identify who else is asking similar questions, and learn what others have found.
- Connect and partner with researchers, families, and other city and community leaders and providers to spark new ideas.
- Apply new ideas to create better experiences for children and families.
[EC*REACH will] propel new research as well as deepen and extend the partnerships between researchers and community. It creates the table to ask the questions and ask if we are asking the right questions.

Being in a room with colleagues who grasp the specifics of early childhood research in Chicago is invaluable. It’s unique to have a space where we can collaborate across various organizations and disciplines. EC*REACH fosters meaningful exchange, igniting greater collective impact.
