📢 Join Campaign for Grade-Level Reading on Dec 17, 3–4:30 PM ET for the #LearningTuesdays session: Child Care Has Shifted: Are We Ready for the Future? Register: bit.ly/3Vpb3VR The field of early care and education is undergoing significant shifts driven by changes in the labor market, advances in the science of early childhood, and the visibility of the child care crisis. This session will explore what it will take to reimagine child care—who it serves, who funds it & how it can better meet families' needs. We’ll hear from a dynamic panel of early childhood educators, administrators, and policy experts representing diverse settings and child care options: Rhian Allvin of Brynmor Early Education & Preschool; Jamal B. of Educare DC; Kayla Corbitt of Operation Child Care Project; Tiffany Jones of The National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC); Marica Cox Mitchell of the Bainum Family Foundation. Susan Gale Perry of Child Care Aware of America will moderate. Join us! https://bit.ly/3Vpb3VR
