OUR MISSION
Latinos Educando Juntos (LEJ) exists to bridge the gap between the Latino community and Pennsylvania’s early childhood education systems. We elevate and empower providers and families through bilingual professional development, workforce pathways, and advocacy, working to redesign early childhood education systems to be more inclusive, equitable, and reflective of the diverse children and communities they serve.
Our Vision
LEJ’s vision is a future where Latino voices shape early childhood education at the local, state, and federal levels, where equitable language access and resources are the norm, and where redesigned systems create stronger leadership pathways and more inclusive policies for children and families.
