2008 Public Awareness Campaign

In preparation for the 81st Texas Legislature, TECEC conducted a year-long public awareness campaign, "Through the Eyes," throughout 2008.

Each month TECEC looked at early care and education “through the eyes” of 11 different perspectives to gain a better understanding of how early childhood education impacts so many different sectors of our community and how this issue fundamentally links all of us together.

Below, you can access each monthly campaign to learn about the important role early care and education plays for many different sectors of our society.
