Berkshire Early Childhood Collaborative

Berkshire United Way and Berkshire County Head Start have partnered to lead a coalition of local leaders to investigate regional solutions to strengthen and support our region’s early childhood system.

We have engaged members of the education, business, nonprofit, and public sectors to focus on regional funding options, build community support, and lift up Berkshire County and its early childhood system as an example to the Commonwealth.

This work is ongoing and this group continues to convene.
