The T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® National Center is the hub of a network of T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® and Child Care WAGE$® initiatives. The Center licenses statewide early childhood non-profit organizations to administer T.E.A.C.H. and/or WAGE$. Through our extensive technical assistance and quality assurance program, Center staff works to ensure all state projects are accountable, effective and high performing. In return, through model fidelity, these initiatives consistently provide data-driven results.
