On this episode of the podcast Buell leaders, funders, and policymakers share their perspectives on funding within early childhood here in Colorado. What makes us unique, what are the challenges, and what are the successes.

In addition, we ask our interviewees how teachers and programs can best position themselves to qualify for or receive funding for new and exciting programming.

On this month's episode of the podcast we feature voices and perspectives from around the State on the topic of P-3 alignment. In practice P-3 alignment works to create strong relationships between all levels of the early childhood education system. By supporting the alignment of the grades and classes, students are better placed in situations where they can thrive and learn. With a better idea of where students are and where they are going teachers are better positioned to meet the needs of that student. In our conversation we focus on how P-3 alignment changes evaluation, training, and classroom curriculum to support student development.

On this month's episode of the Buell Early Childhood Leaders Podcast Series we feature the Pyramid Plus framework.
