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.
MISSION
To advance the well-being of children and families across Southeast Alaska by empowering parents, early educators, and community partnerships.
Stronger Together: The Story Behind Our Name
