Abstract	This guide was developed as part of the Child Care Partnership Project, a multi-year technical assistance effort. The Partnership Project provides a series of technical assistance resources and materials to support the development and strengthening of public-private partnerships to improve the quality and supply of child care. The guide is designed to provide practical information on creating and maintaining public-private child care partnerships, and draws from the experiences and wisdom of successful partnership leaders at the national, state, and local levels. The guide begins with a definition of public-private partnerships, followed by a summary of why they are created and what public-private partnerships can do. The guide then presents a set of principles and strategies for establishing and maintaining successful partnerships based on lessons from successful national, state, and local models. The guide asserts that successful partnerships: (1) have clear goals; (2) aim to achieve positive results and regularly measure their progress; (3) involve families and include them when developing programs and services; (4) are broad-based and include key stakeholders from the beginning; (5) involve powerful champions and make their initiatives visible to the public; (6) establish clear governance structures that define partner roles and responsibilities; (7) set and adhere to a set of ground rules that guide the partnership in its work; (8) are flexible, adopt an entrepreneurial mindset, and adapt to changing conditions and resources; (9) enable all partners to benefit by drawing on their strengths and contributions; and (10) work to maintain momentum and to sustain their work over time.
