About Us

We believe young children and the adults who care for them deserve dignity and respect, 

so we work for and alongside them to make positive change.

We can see a world where:

• Every child has access to high quality, culturally congruent care and education.
• Every family has the option to choose a care and education setting for their child without carrying the true cost of care on their backs.
• Every person working in Early Care and Education is well trained, supported, and compensated.
• Every system actively engages in dismantling structural barriers in service to their constituencies. 

 What's with all this "we" if A Zuest for Learning is only one consultant? I'm so glad you asked!

Though I'm proud to be the founder of A Zuest for Learning, LLC, I certainly can't take all the credit for the good work that emerges. I'm fortunate to have a network of stellar experts that contribute to the success of projects over time. Because I truly believe we are better together, I use "we" instead of "me" to honor past, present, and future efforts from contributors.
