Oakland Starting Smart & Strong is a citywide collaborative that advances racial justice, develops and amplifies community-driven solutions, and advocates for changes in policy and resources to create an early childhood ecosystem that effectively serves children 0-5, their families, caregivers, and educators. 
A teacher stands in front of about 15 young children with her arms and hands raised up and a smile on her face. Many of the children are also dancing and smiling.


Our collective vision of success is that all children, ​families and early educators flourish in Oakland.
