Led by Louisiana's leaders in Early Care and Education (ECE), we champion Louisiana child care centers by enhancing the quality of ECE through policy advocacy, professional development, and networking.

Through our ECE Policy Advocacy efforts, For Providers By Providers (4PXP) has built a collective, independent policy voice for Directors and staff of Early Care and Education centers serving Louisiana's low-income children of color.

Our Professional Development is led by experienced ECE providers and small business owners who provide trusted technical assistance and business support for fellow and aspiring ECE directors.

Our team will also carry out Demonstration Projects designed to expand the impact and sustainability of
ECE providers. These projects aim to improve access to quality Early Childhood Education programs.

Our 5 Pillars of Succcess:

Educate - We educate our ECE providers and leaders on key issues impacting our industry and provide unique direct support for ECE directors and leaders to improve and expand their business development, administrative and staffing procedures, and overall workforce support.

Empower - We empower ECE providers to have a strong advocacy voice about matters that impact our industry, their families, and their communities. Together we strategize and identify key issues challenging our industry, make plans and solutions about approaches to appropriately address the issues.

Collaborate - We work together to build an indepedent ECE policy voice, and community that collectively educates & advocates for the importance of access to quality ECE for low-income families.

Advocate - We will work to support state, local, and other advocacy efforts that are defined by our members to directly impact our communities. Some advocacy efforts include issues related to quality, funding, wrap-around services for students and families, and workforce retention & shortages.

Outcomes - We will improve the collaboration, sustainability, and collective power of high-quality ECE providers and our early childcare leaders who serve low-income children.
