Moments of collective impact defined this year for QCC. Nearly 200 leaders and advocates gathered at our Early Start Breakfast, raising $95,000 to support early childhood initiatives statewide. At convenings like our annual Elevating Early Literacy Summit, early learning leaders strengthened foundational literacy practices. This work extends far beyond individual classrooms and shapes lifelong outcomes for children across Georgia.

As QCC marks more than 45 years of service, our commitment remains unwavering. When challenges arise, we show up. We listen. We lead. We advocate. QCC stands alongside families and educators, amplifying their voices and pushing for systems that ensure every child—regardless of zip code—has access to quality care, nourishing food, and meaningful learning experiences.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are focused on deepening our impact to expand access to high-quality child care, strengthen the early childhood workforce, and advance equitable systems statewide. This ambitious work requires continued investment, bold partnerships, and shared leadership. We invite you to join us in building what's next. Your support can help us scale proven solutions, reach underserved communities, and ensure Georgia's youngest learners have the strong start they deserve. Together, we can do even more.

Thank you to our dedicated staff, board, partners, funders, and supporters. Your belief in this work, plus your investment in Georgia's children, make our impact possible. Together, we are building stronger systems, stronger communities, and brighter futures for Georgia's children.
