About Us
Good Beginnings Alliance (GBA) is Hawai`i’s leading independent voice dedicated to ensuring young children are safe, healthy and ready to succeed.
Every day, we strive to ensure a safety net exists so all children have the support and opportunity to grow into thriving, successful adults.
To this end, GBA remains in a heightened state of awareness to call attention to the needs of our children; we use data to support and bring that awareness to business, community, education, healthcare, and government; and we develop recommendations and comprehensive solutions so those in power can make decisions that ensure the safety, health and readiness of all Hawai`i’s children.
GBA is a member of Voices for America’s Children
Good Beginnings Alliance:

- informs community leaders of the early childhood data that affects their decisions,
- leverages public and private investments to work cohesively for early childhood, and
- connects public and private efforts to build a comprehensive early childhood system for Hawai`i.
History

GBA was created to be a sustainable, effective, participatory coordinating structure that cuts across existing private and public systems to enhance and develop quality early childhood services in the State of Hawai`i.
Today, GBA is Hawai`i’s leading independent voice dedicated to ensuring all young children are safe, healthy and ready to succeed.
