Towards the end of 2016, Spark Policy Institute sent out a survey to assess Bright Beginning’s progress on core elements of Bright Beginnings Theory of Action. This illustrates the collective impact path the initiative is taking in order to see improvements for early childhood development in Monterey County. A total of 28 people responded, made up of CAT facilitators, CAT members, Backbone members, and MCCC members.
