Palmetto Shared Services Alliance (PSSA) was born from a community needs assessment completed by Greenville First Steps and the Institute for Child Success that identified a significant need for childcare provider quality improvement. Like successful counterparts in many other states, we aim to strengthen the early care and education (ECE) community. Under the single goal of improving child outcomes, through transforming ECE systems and structures, Palmetto Shared Services Alliance is designed to build the capacity of community business leaders. This improves direct services children receive and equips early care and education environments to sustain high quality.
