Join us on the NEW EducareShare platform!

In the spring of 2019, we launched phase one of our intranet, EducareShare. Now with over 500 members and almost 1,100 downloadable resources in our digital library, we are ready to open phase two of the EducareShare platform on March 16, 2021.

EducareShare remains a space specifically for Educare Learning Network schools, their parent organizations, funders and research partners to find and share resources with colleagues. We’ve expanded EducareShare and in addition to Network resources, you can now also find:

  • Dedicated private groups for communities of practice, workgroups and other groups in the Network to connect and work collaboratively.
  • Space for online discussions in forums open to all members of the Network.
  • Online help and support resources and access to connect directly with Network members.

Please note the current EducareShare website will be in “read-only” mode on March 15 to prepare for the migration.

Start Engaging!

When you log into the new EducareShare space for the first time we suggest doing the following:

EducareShare is hosted in a private space within Early Childhood Connector (ECC) platform. ECC is an online platform co-designed by Start Early and a cadre of early childhood organizations and community leaders that serves as a virtual community for people in the early childhood field to connect, share best practices and resources and build better early childhood programs. As a member of the EducareShare community, you will have instant access to the broader Early Childhood Connector space. Note that all emails from EducareShare, digests, notifications, etc. will be sent from “Early Childhood Connector”. Learn more about the ECC.
