April is the Month of the Young Child, which emphasizes the importance of early child care and celebrates organizations that provide vital services.

Trying Together supports the work of early childhood by facilitating inclusive learning opportunities for early educators. By providing numerous pathways for early learning professionals to grow in their careers, Trying Together helps to ensure that every child has access to high-quality early care and education that prepares them for their future.

Empower Early Childhood Development

You can help empower early child care professionals by making a donation for the Month of the Young Child.

Gifts of any amount will help and are appreciated. However, these suggested amounts would directly impact quality improvements for regional early learning programs:

• $50 helps to cover the average cost for one early educator to attend a Trying Together professional learning course.
• $500 covers the cost for an early educator to complete necessary job requirements as well as receive support from Trying Together through the Child Care 101: New Hire Orientation Professional Development Series.
• $2,500 provides an early educator the opportunity to grow in their career by obtaining a Child Development Associate (CDA) Certificate or School-Age Professional Credential offered by Trying Together.
