The Early Learning Division of the Oregon Department of Education provides funding to Early Learning Hubs to convene cross sector partners to work together toward a shared vision and shared goals. There are 16 Early Learning Hubs in Oregon, supporting systems development and programs for children, prenatally through six and their families. Early Learning Hubs collaborate with early childhood programs to translate the research on early development into result-oriented interventions and programs.
Goal 1: Aligned, coordinated, and family-centered early childhood system
Goal 2: Children receive the early learning experiences they need to thrive and be successful in school and life
Goal 3: Families receive the support they need to be healthy, stable and attached

The Early Learning Hub of Clackamas County condemns racism in all forms and acknowledges the devastating impact of racism on young children and their families. We see and feel the pain and stand together to grieve the death of George Floyd and too many others before him.
Clackamas County, along with the entire state of Oregon, has a history of systemic and overt racism that continues today. People of all races, particularly those of the dominant white culture, need to examine ourselves – individually and collectively – to reflect on racism in ourselves, our communities, and our workplaces and act to dismantle systems of bias that provide privilege to some but not to others. This examination is not a one-time activity but a commitment to continually challenge racist structures, have difficult conversations, elevate diverse voices and perspectives at the table, and make decisions that reflect our core values.
Equity is the core value of our work in Early Learning. We work towards building a system that assures all children, regardless of race, income, sex, family structure, religion, language, culture or zip code, have what they need to grow and thrive starting early in life. Through an Early Care and Education (ECE) Sector planning process in Fall 2019, the Hub and its partners identified priority populations that have been historically under-served in Clackamas County, including children who are Latinx and African American. This plan will guide our work to advance equity by eliminating gaps in resources and supports available to all children and families. We commit to continually strive to create a community and state where every child can thrive.
The Early Learning Hub of Clackamas County, in collaboration with partners and stakeholders, developed a regional Early Care and Education (ECE) Sector Plan that focuses on identifying priority populations, and areas of highest need, for targeted services. The Sector plan will be integrated into the processes to inform Preschool Promise, Oregon Prekindergarten, and Early Head Start expansions, and equitable resource allocation across our state. You can download the full ECE Sector plan below.
