Our vision is that all of Georgia's infants and toddlers receive the quality care and access to services they need in order to thrive. To do this, over 130 individuals from over 60 diverse organizations work together to elevate the needs of Georgia's infants and toddlers as a statewide priority.
Through collaboration and innovation, the Coalition seeks to build public will, support aligned activities, and mobilize funding to advance policies that address the needs of Georgia's infants and toddlers. Convened by GEEARS, the Georgia Infant-Toddler Coalition takes a holistic and comprehensive approach to our work, recognizing the variety of aspects that impact the proper development of infants and toddlers.
The Georgia Infant-Toddler Coalition operates with a committee structure to allow the Coalition to do a deep dive on select high-priority, time-sensitive issues that impact Georgia's infants and toddlers and their families. Currently, the Georgia Infant-Toddler Coalition has three committees: Child Care Affordability, Early Intervention (EI) & Family Well-Being, and Housing Security.
The Leadership Council is the decision-making body of the Coalition and ensures trust and accountability from membership organizations.
