Strategies for Children leads the way towards meaningful change in early childhood systems across Massachusetts by connecting people to people, people to policy, and people to power.
As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we reflect on a quarter century of progress and recognize the leaders, advocates, educators, families, and partner organizations whose commitment and collaboration have made our shared success possible.
Since 2020, we have built community virtually in so many ways. This fall, we want to see you in person! We are planning three celebrations and hope you can join us for at least one of them.
See below for additional information. If you have questions or need assistance, contact Diagneris “Nery” Garcia. And learn how you can support our work.

Reflections from the people behind Strategies for Children
In April, we launched a 9:30 Call series to reflect on our history and celebrate the people who have shaped SFC’s lasting impact.
Throughout the series, we heard stories and insights from members of our Board of Directors, former staff and interns dating back to 2001, and today’s SFC team.
Learn more about The 9:30 Call and join us for future conversations—everyone is welcome! More recordings are available on YouTube. Click on the images below to watch these videos.
