Strengthening & promoting cities as centers of opportunity, leadership, and governance

City Challenge for Early Childhood Success

In 2003, under the leadership of then-NLC President John DeStefano, Jr., mayor of New Haven, Conn., NLC launched a year-long campaign to encourage municipal involvement in promoting early childhood success.

The focal point of the campaign was the City Challenge for Early Childhood Success. The Challenge asked NLC members to commit to developing multi-year early childhood plans for their communities. By the end of 2003, 108 cities and towns made this commitment.
