About CEC
We move the needle on systems change one project at a time. We bring concrete solutions by launching pilot programs, creating content, building awareness, and connecting people across sectors.
Our Projects are local and short-term, with the intention of spinning them off to live with other organizations. We have simple criteria: they feel right, create tangible impact, and can benefit from our mix of strengths in communication and strategy.
Our Team is small and intentional. We stay nimble and relevant by accessing a deep braintrust of Partners, who enable us to stay current, connected, and in touch with those doing work on the ground.
Heather Hopkins and Dayna Chung receive the Child Care Partnership Council of San Mateo County's Community Partner Award in 2022.
