In the summer of 2018, the New Venture Fund, with support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, commissioned Arabella Advisors to review the leadership development landscape within the formal early childhood education sector. As detailed in the resulting report, Arabella's researchers found that strong leaders are vitally important to advancing the field's priorities, but there is a lack of relevant leadership development opportunities. In this follow-up research, we continue our analysis but focus on the needs and perspectives of leaders in the broader field of early care and learning. This report bridges our existing knowledge of the "supply" of leadership development programs with a deeper understanding of the "demand" for such programs among potential participants. Putting front and center the voices of those who aspire to one day lead the field is essential as we work to build more equitable, effective early childhood systems. Accordingly, leaders' voices figure prominently into this report and its recommendations. (author abstract)
