Love to Learn: Investing in Tomorrow's Workforce Today
About this Event
This event will highlight the importance of quality early childhood education and its transformative impact on society and the economy.
Drawing on insights from the book "Raising a Nation: 10 Reasons Every American Has a Stake in Child Care For All", we will explore the origins of today's childcare crisis and discuss solutions that support affordable, flexible childcare options for every family in America.
In addition, we will honor exceptional early learning champions whose commitment and contributions are advancing opportunities for young children and strengthening the early childhood landscape.
Each attendee will receive a copy of the book with a potential opportunity to have it signed by author Elliot Haspel (time permitting), who will deliver the keynote address and participate in an engaging panel discussion.
