Better outcomes for Tennessee’s youngest learners takes all of us.
Families, early educators, employers, and community leaders each see a different part of what children need to thrive. TQEE brings these voices together to share what’s working, identify what needs to change, and turn ideas into action across Tennessee.
Our networks offer ways to connect with others, learn from their experience, and help shape solutions. Some members speak up for policies that affect their families and classrooms. Others build partnerships, share research, or put promising ideas to work in their communities. Explore the networks below to find your place.
Parent & Family Network
Parents and caregivers know firsthand what helps children thrive and what gets in the way. Connect with other families, share your experience, and help shape decisions that affect children from birth through third grade.
Early Educator Network
Early educators bring essential knowledge about children’s learning and development, from the earliest years through third grade. Connect with peers, find opportunities to make your voice heard, and help strengthen the profession and the policies that support it.
TN Business + Family Forum
Child care is essential to Tennessee’s workforce and economy. The TN Business + Family Forum connects employers and business leaders with practical child care solutions, promising partnerships, and opportunities to advance policies that support working families.
Bright Start Tennessee Network
Strong starts are built locally. Bright Start TN connects community partners working across Tennessee to improve outcomes for young children and families. Members share what they’re learning, strengthen local efforts, and help inform statewide action.
