Abstract: High-quality early childhood education (ECE) does more than boost kindergarten readiness--it sets the foundation for academic success, workforce participation, and economic mobility. This brief explores how leading global systems--and a few standout U.S. states--are reimagining ECE to expand access to more young learners and ensure alignment with the K-12 system. And as they anticipate the future, including families and communities in decision making, delivering services more efficiently, and building digital skills from an early age--shaping education systems that give every child a strong start in school and in life. These bold efforts show how early childhood education is both an investment in the present and a promise for the future.
