All In For Kansas Kids
We are All In!
All In For Kansas Kids is a statewide effort, led by cross-agency leaders, to identify needs, fill gaps, and plan for our children’s brighter future.
Our vision is for Kansas to be a place where all children have their needs met and have access to quality early childhood care and education, so they are prepared to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. We recognize the critical importance of a strong start in life and an early childhood ecosystem that contributes to the future prosperity of our state.
We are guided by the All In For Kansas Kids Strategic Plan.
Leadership Team
The Kansas State Department of Education, Kansas Department for Children and Families, and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment join the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund in guiding efforts of the Kansas Early Childhood Ecosystem.
Champions for early care and education at each of these agencies form the All In For Kansas Kids Leadership Team.
Preschool Development Grant B-5
All In For Kansas Kids work is partially supported by Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five funding (PDG) from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Every Student Succeeds Act.
PDG funds the needs assessment process and development of strategic plans. PDG also supports activities that engage families and helps them navigate programs and services in the ecosystem. The early childhood workforce benefits from PDG work through the sharing of best practices, improvements to quality, and efforts to elevate the profession.
