Early childhood providers often have to piece together several funding streams to serve children and families. A recent Kresge webinar looked at how to make that funding work better for providers, children and families. Jonathan Hui of Kresge moderated a conversation with Sophia Lafayette-Lause of the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), Kelly Etter of Policy Equity Group and Celina Byrd of IFF.

In addition, the Policy Equity Group has several useful resources available:
