In a project called “Your Voice Matters,” conducted from 2021-2022, South Carolina First Steps worked with Listen4Good (L4G) to solicit and act upon authentic feedback from its early childhood stakeholders throughout the state. Using the data collected through its work with L4G, First Steps successfully built a centralized feedback system with providers across the state, drove impressive family response rates, and engaged and educated state legislators on the impact of supporting early childhood programs and services.
