Our Children’s Future
Our vision is for Kansas to be a place where all children have their needs met and have access to quality early childhood care and education, so they are prepared to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
All In For Kansas Kids is an effort led by cross-agency leaders to identify needs, fill gaps, and plan for our children’s brighter future. Leaders and champions across Kansas are working together to build and grow our early childhood ecosystem and are guided by the All In For Kansas Kids Strategic Plan.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s Children and Families Section promotes optimal health for Kansas women and infants, children, and adolescents through systems development activities and grants to local communities.
The Kansas Department for Children and Families works to ensure the well-being of children by helping families access quality child care and other services and support providers and communities to strengthen their programs and services. This department is the lead agency for the Child Care and Development Fund.
The Kansas State Department of Education provides leadership, resources, support and accountability to the state’s K-12 education system. This agency works to ensure all Kansas children receive a quality education and are ready for kindergarten.
