Sacramento Consortium for Empowering Early Educators (SacE3) Program

The Sacramento Consortium for Empowering Early Educators (SacE3) is a local partnership that was formed to increase and support a highly qualified early learning and care workforce. SacE3 is made up of school districts, charter schools, early learning and care providers, institutions of higher education, and community partners. The Early Learning Department at the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) was selected to receive a grant from the California Department of Education to create and coordinate the partnership.
