Description:
Federal, State, and Territory governments have engaged in numerous efforts to create a more cohesive early care and education system for children and families. This has resulted in States/Territories creating different governance structures to meet the unique needs of their populations. This document provides an overview of the governance structure in the States and Territories. It highlights the administering agencies for child care subsidy, licensing, quality initiatives, Head Start collaboration, state/territory-funded prekindergarten, IDEA services (Part B, Section 619 and Part C), and home visiting programs through the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program.
