Abstract: State and territory early care and education (ECE) systems operate across a complex landscape of programs, agencies, and funding streams. States and territories rely on a mix of federal, state, and local investments to deliver these services, but fluctuations in federal funding -- from expiring COVID relief dollars, to shifting congressional priorities -- have heightened the need for long-term, strategic financing approaches. To help states and territories navigate this evolving environment, the National Governors Association's Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) launched a project in January 2025 to bring together Governors' offices, state and territory agency leadership, and subject-matter experts to explore strategies for safeguarding, aligning, and sustaining ECE systems. Throughout the project, states and territories explored opportunities to safeguard investments from fluxes in federal funding, strengthen coordination across agencies and programs, and build durable financing approaches to better meet the needs of children and families.
