For more than 40 years, the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) has served the Greater Kansas City region, advancing regional progress through leadership, planning and action. MARC has a long history of convening stakeholders to develop a common agenda and organizing community action to solve region-wide issues.

MARC’s Department of Early Learning was formed in 1989. Using the emerging body of research around brain development, MCEL has convened early learning and community stakeholders for the past 25 years, making significant strides in improving access to and the quality of early learning in the region.
