Jammie Albert

Leveraging New and Evolving Policies and Funds to Support Local Child Care

Jammie Albert serves as a program manager for early childhood success in the Institute for Youth Education and Families at the National League of Cities (NLC). In that role she provides technical assistance to develop and strengthen the local infrastructure of cities and communities through tools for programmatic action and promising best practices to invest in the development and healthy growth of children. Currently, her focus is on cities supporting children and families during the prenatal-to-age 3 developmental period. Within that project she works to build the capacity of city leaders to reach across their communities, align programs, design policies, and ultimately build systems that are responsive and supportive to young children and their families. Prior to joining the NLC team, Albert served as a human service worker in family services for the Fairfax County (VA) Department of Family Services, Head Start, and as a family-centered specialist for the MENTOR Network Institute. She obtained a Master of Education from Carlow University and Bachelor of Arts in mass media communications from Wilberforce University.
