Executive Director
Gateway Early Childhood Alliance
St. Louis Missouri
The Moran Company is pleased to partner with the Gateway Early Childhood Alliance to recruit the organization’s next Executive Director.
Gateway Early Childhood Alliance Background
The Gateway Early Childhood Alliance (The Alliance) is seeking an Executive Director to replace the Founding Executive Director. This position is responsible for catalyzing a regional coordination nonprofit that drives early education (ECE) quality and access in St. Louis seeking to provide the most benefit to underrepresented, marginalized, and highest need communities.
The mission of The Alliance is to create and sustain an early childhood system that ensures Black and Brown children and families have access to high-quality early childhood care and education.
The Alliance was first envisioned in 2014 when the For the Sake of All report identified a lack of quality early childhood care and education as a leading indicator of health disparities between white and Black residents of St. Louis. In 2018, an advisory committee of twenty-two organizational leaders from across the region partnered to study the access and affordability gaps in the early childhood care and education landscape and published The First Step to Equity report. This was followed by a community-led process facilitated by WEPOWER to develop a” Playbook” to redevelop and redefine ECE in the region. In 2021, in response to the information from the studies, the regional coordinating entity announced its launch with the name Gateway Early Childhood Alliance.
The Gateway Early Childhood Alliance provides the following:
Capacity BuildingBuilding the capacity of ECE providers and educators—helping them feel supported in their work—will lead to effective and sustainable programs, which will expand access to quality ECE. Through increased funding and knowledge, providers will be able to provide a high-quality experience for families and children.
Power Building And AdvocacyCentering providers’ and families’ voices and experiences in The Alliance’s strategies is non-negotiable. In turn, this will generate increased connection, feelings of value, and commitment to the field, which will lead to more supportive policies, increased funding, and expanded access to quality slots.
Communication And ConnectionCreating spaces for people within and outside of the ECE sector to create and plan together enables The Alliance to collect and share the experiences of the ECE community. Together, The Alliance and the ECE community will create accountability and champion responsive policies and programming that put the needs of children, families, and educators first.
Internal InfrastructureBuilding a thriving organization and unified team of ECE champions gives The Alliance a strong foundation to foster and support these efforts. The background of the team will always reflect the communities The Alliance serves.
The New Executive Director for Gateway Early Childhood Alliance will need to live in the greater St. Louis area.
