For Our Future: South Carolina's Birth through Five Plan is a five-year roadmap for optimizing our state’s early childhood system and moving toward our shared vision of success for every child, from birth through age five. Led by the South Carolina Early Childhood Advisory Council, the planning process originated in 2019 with a statewide needs assessment that engaged thousands of families and service providers. The plan's principles, goals, objectives, strategies, and key measures of progress were presented for approval and adopted by the Early Childhood Advisory Council in October and December of 2021. The plan was published and presented to Governor Henry McMaster on February 17, 2022. (author abstract)
