Early Childhood Equity Movement

What does it take for all families in New Hampshire to thrive? Leaders from diverse communities asked their neighbors to find out. What began as research became a movement of partners who are building on the strength of communities and family service systems, while addressing gaps in those systems.

The work of the Early Childhood Equity Movement (ECEM) begins in community. The ECEM hosts community meetings where service providers and families connect and learn together. Language accessibility and cultural traditions are celebrated and uplifted to build multi-lingual spaces, so that everyone’s voices can be heard, language barriers are dismantled, and power dynamics are equalized.

We all have a role to play as we make changes to improve access to services for all children and families.
