Funded by First 5 California, the Early Education Effectiveness Exchange (E4) facilitates quality improvements in California early learning programs.
E4 serves as the primary statewide resource designed to facilitate quality improvement in early learning centers, classrooms, and family child care homes participating in the three Child Signature Programs. First 5 California (www.ccfc.ca.gov) has selected WestEd's Center for Child and Family Studies (www.wested.org/ccfs) to implement the E4. Visit www.F5CAe4.org for more information.
