The Black Child Development Institute of Atlanta (BCDI-Atlanta) proudly presents the Leadership & Equity Advancement Network (LEAN) – an online community designed to bring together childcare program owners, center directors, and family/group childcare providers and anyone dedicated to shaping a brighter future for Black children and their families.
The LEAN Community is a hub of collaboration, support, and resource-sharing. LEAN is rooted in monthly webinars and is evolving into a dynamic online community fueled by the Expand ECE (Early Care & Education) initiative.
What is LEAN?
LEAN is not just a community; it's a movement that brings together Early Childhood Education (ECE) stakeholders and anyone invested in the well-being of Black children and their families. It's a platform for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and collective action. Monthly LEAN Gatherings offer programming and ongoing leadership support for childcare program owners, center directors, and family/group childcare providers.

The Leadership & Equity Advancement Network (LEAN) Gathering and Community Leadership Awards Reception, held on February 20, 2024, preceding the 5th Annual Culturally Responsive ECE Leadership Summit, will be a great in-person opportunity to fellowship with other ECE stakeholders as we give our community leadership award winners their flowers. This will allow you to engage with other early education stakeholders while enjoying great food, a good drink, and a live musical performance by Georgia's own Grammy-nominated R&B singer-songwriter, Anthony David.
