CED conducts research on major economic and social issues to actively inform and engage the business community and to achieve public policy reform in the nation’s interest. Early childhood education has been a priority issue at CED for more than 50 years.
Our state allies can call on the Committee for Economic Development to:
CED helps advocates, business leaders, and policymakers understand the cost of care (through cost-modeling); the development of supply strategies (through mapping, and landscape data analysis including interactive visualizations); and, business relief options, as well as the promotion of public-private partnerships such as subsidized child care and shared services among others.
CED helps states with approaches that increase the quality of and access to early learning; promote effective child care business practices; advance the professional development and compensation of early childhood educators (including tax credits); and bring an integrated approach to better meet the needs of families with children, employers, and communities.
CED works with state advocates and business leaders to identify policy solutions (including tax credit incentives) and promote new revenue generating options for early care and education.
