About Leading for Change

Leading for Change (LfC) in Early Care and Education is a leadership development program that trains family child care providers on how to lead for change and quality improvement in their practice, program, or in the field. The program is taught in the style of a professional learning community, making it a highly interactive learning environment where you work with peers to develop your leadership skills.

LfC is a fourteen-week innovative training where:

  • Participants will gain a deeper understanding of themselves as leaders and change agents. They will explore concrete ways to improve professional practice early education quality and promote social and racial justice in programs and systems serving young children and families.

  • Participants will identify a specific area related to ECE practice/quality, develop a theory of change and concrete action plan, and explore how their leadership can promote change and improvement.
