Stemming from a meeting called Building our Future: Strategies for Investing in Early Childhood, this document describes community-based early childhood initiatives in Tulsa, Oklahoma (Tulsa Educare); Durham, North Carolina (East Durham Children's Initiative [EDCI]); and the state of Oregon (Early Learning [EL] Hubs). Profiles for each discuss the initiatives and services; initiation, implementation, and sustainability; and evaluations, as well as provide advice for others. Considerations for spreading, supporting, and sustaining initiatives and general themes that emerged regarding community-based early childhood initiatives are also included.
