Connecting Child Care Supply & Demand Data to Actions that Make a Difference

Join Maryland Philanthropy Network’s Prenatal to Five (PN5) Affinity Group for an informative and practical program on how to use early childhood education (ECE) gap analyses to guide real-world action. Jacob Rosch from The Reinvestment Fund, the organization conducting Maryland’s statewide ECE supply and demand study, will open with a presentation on how data can be used to inform strategies for funders and other stakeholders.

A panel discussion will highlight how Philadelphia, Montgomery County, MD, and other states and localities have moved from data to action. These stories will bring to life the challenges faced, lessons learned, and outcomes achieved along the way.

This program helps tee up the statewide study, which is on track to be released by the end of the year and will shape a broader conversation in early 2026. For those engaged in planning next steps in Baltimore, following the recently released Baltimore City Child Care Landscape Analysis, this session will offer timely insights and case examples to inform your work.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies, peer inspiration, and a clearer sense of how to connect data to action—both locally and across the state.

This program is for Maryland Philanthropy Network members and invited guests.
