Early Childhood Summit -
Early Childhood Education and Childcare IS a business issue, in fact, it is a Business Imperative! Strong houses have strong foundations, and as we look for the South Coast to prosper, we need to strengthen our educational attainment and access to early childhood education. Hundreds of families languish on waiting lists. Thousands of families can't bear the financial weight of private programs, and children who start behind tend, sadly, to stay behind. These children are our future workforce. These parents are our current workforce. And these children, many from vulnerable populations deserve the best start they can get.
