The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of ALL Children High-quality, inclusive early childhood programs support the full participation of each young child, including those who are culturally, linguistically, and ability diverse. Fulfilling this promise, however, is easier said than done. The demographics of the population in the United States are quickly changing.

When it comes to implementing effective early education, clearly one size does not fit all. This forum will focus on the many ways in effective policies can support a more nuanced understanding of program excellence—high-quality, inclusive early childhood programs that support each child’s full potential. n
