Responding to the current national concern for enhanced commitments to early education, this book examines what states are currently doing, what has proven effective, and what the existing body of knowledge offers educators, policymakers and others seeking successful approaches to governance.

Book Features: A consolidated treatment of early childhood governance theory and practice. A systemic approach, contextualizing governance as an essential component and driver of ECE system development. Insights from those who have been implementing innovative approaches to governance. Guidance for promoting equity, quality, and coherence in early education.
