In 2017, the Nebraska Early Childhood Workforce Commission came together to address how best to strengthen and expand Nebraska's early childhood workforce. The commission was a collaborative group of more than 40 public- and private-sector leaders representing systems that influence the overall quality and delivery of early care and education—including those involved in professional preparation and learning, early care and education delivery, and policymaking, as well as local business, philanthropic, and community leaders. The commission worked for the past three years in collaboration with others from across the state to identify the strengths and challenges of Nebraska's early childhood workforce and examine the potential of early care and education in the state.
