Danielle Adamson serves as the Project Director of Early Care and Education (ECE) at HealthMPowers, where she works with state and local stakeholders to oversee initiatives and programs designed to improve the nutrition and physical activity of Georgia’s youngest learners. With over a decade of expertise in ECE, Danielle has led national, state, and local programs focused on health and wellness, early literacy, and family engagement for young children, families, and educators. Starting her career as a state-certified preschool teacher, her content expertise has informed programs, initiatives, and resources for major companies, organizations, and governmental agencies, including the United States Department of Education, Sesame Street, Smithsonian Institution, the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Scholastic, the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA), and First Book among others.
Early Care and Education (ECE) is the earliest stage of a child’s learning and development, taking place between birth and eight years old. Because a child’s brain is the most flexible and rapidly developing during the first five years of their life, ECE plays a critical role in building a strong foundation for children’s lifelong health, well-being, and success.
