October 16 - Guest Speaker: Suzan Gage with Early Learning Coalition of Northwest Florida.
The key points that will be covered are:
1. The Power of Early Learning:
The first five years of life are critical for brain development, setting the stage for lifelong learning and success.
Children who have access to quality early education are more likely to enter kindergarten ready to learn, perform well in school, and ultimately contribute to the workforce.
2. Economic Impact:
For every dollar invested in early education, communities see a return of up to $13 through reduced costs in remedial education, healthcare, and criminal justice, and increased earnings over a lifetime.
Workforce readiness begins with today’s young children. Investing in their education ensures tomorrow’s employees have the skills businesses need.
3. The Role of the Business Community:
Businesses have a unique opportunity to support early learning through advocacy, funding, and employee-friendly policies like family leave and childcare benefits.
By partnering with organizations like the Early Learning Coalition of Northwest Florida, businesses can strengthen their communities and ensure a thriving economy.
We look forward to seeing you there!
