Nebraska has expanded access to and improved the quality of early learning for infants and toddlers by carefully utilizing funding and optimizing public and private partnerships. Funded by earnings from $20 million in private contributions and $40 million in public investments to the Early Childhood Endowment, the Sixpence Early Learning Fund provides competitive awards to community partnerships led by local school districts as well as training, support and professional development opportunities for early learning providers, program assessment and evaluation.
