With a passion for listening to communities to inform public policy, Frances Einterz aims to solve the most challenging issues facing young children and their caregivers— the lack of infant and toddler care and sustainable solutions to compensate the early childhood workforce. In her current role, she supports the development and implementation of early childhood public policy at the federal and state level.
Most recently, Einterz helped develop Michigan’s PreK for All roadmap and supported work to inform Indiana’s revision of the quality rating and improvement system. Her ongoing projects include engagement with communities and informing public policy in multiple states and localities, including New Mexico and Washington, DC. Her introduction to the legislative process was through a fellowship with the Women’s Congressional Policy Institute.
Einterz earned a master’s degree in community development from the University of California, Davis. She uncovered her passion for early care and education policy while working as a senior legislative assistant for U.S. Representative Katherine Clark (D-MA). She also worked as a senior policy analyst at the Bipartisan Policy Center, where she focused on issues such as tribal child care and the importance of high-quality early learning facilities.
