Zero to Five
Matters is
a statewide early care and education public awareness campaign that is

Alabama's
Early Care & Education System Map
Alabama's Early Care & Education System
Map will provide stakeholders with a critical tool for achieving a more
complete understanding of the existing services and resources delivery at
both the state and local level. The process, conducted by Colin Newlin
of Braintree Solution Consulting, was spearheaded by the Alabama Partnership
for Children, Inc. (APC) through a grant from the Smart Start National
Technical Assistance Center in North Carolina.
Outcomes of the System Mapping Process, which
involved research, interviews, periodic consultations, site visits, and
collaborative
sessions are:
• A clear articulation of
the relationship between federal-state-regional-local resources
•
To improve overall understanding of how early
care and education works in Alabama
• To yield greater efficiency and
effectiveness of programmatic and financial management
•
To empower stakeholders to develop plans for leveraging public and private
resources
A
steering committee was formed to plan and oversee the project, which
consisted of representatives from the Alabama Partnership for Children (lead
agency), Alabama's Early Intervention System (Dept. of Rehabilitation
Services), Children's Trust Fund, department of Children's Affairs,
Department of Human Resources, Healthy Child Care Alabama (Dept. of Public
Health), and VOICES for Alabama's Children.
2002
Alabama Child Care Workforce Study
The 2002 Alabama Child Care
Workforce Study, released in April 2003, provides
baseline
data about the education and training levels, effectiveness, and stability
of
the child care
workforce in Alabama. This report is a compilation of a comprehensive
survey that was
sent to Alabama child care center directors, teachers, and family day
care
providers. It
is our plan to establish a mechanism to obtain updated information
annually
so that we
can measure the impact of T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® and
other programs in Alabama.
