supporting families, building childcare
Welcome to Southeast Childhood Collective
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive—and every family deserves a community that supports them.
At Southeast Childhood Collective, we bring people, organizations, and communities together to improve outcomes for children across Southeast Alaska. We believe that when families are supported, educators are empowered, and communities invest in early childhood, everyone benefits.
Whether you’re a parent seeking resources, an educator looking for support, a community partner, or someone who wants to make a difference, we’re here to connect, collaborate, and create solutions.
Our work includes early learning, family support, child care advocacy, workforce development, literacy, and community partnerships. Together, we’re building stronger systems, expanding opportunities, and creating brighter futures for children and families.
Welcome—we’re glad you’re here.
A New Name, the Same Mission
Why 'Collective'?
Working together brings success. We wanted a name that acknowledges that we are in this work together. The word ‘collective’ reflects our combined efforts.Our collaborations with you enable us to support parents as the child’s first and most important teacher, enrich the quality of care and education in early learning programs, and mobilize community support to ensure all children have the resources they need to grow and thrive.
