Join us for a powerful, myth-busting edWebinar conversation that redefines what quality care looks like for our youngest children—and why it matters more than ever.

A child’s early years are critical. Optimal development depends heavily on one-on-one interactions with stable, nurturing, and attentive adults. That means the adults providing early childhood care are arguably some of our most important teachers and educators—co-constructing our babies’ brains, shaping the trajectory of their development, and creating tiny humans who understand basic empathy, sharing, and interactions with others.

With so much at stake today, it’s critical that we separate facts from fiction to transform our country’s approach to early childhood education (ECE).

In this edWebinar, Dr. Bridget Hamre is joined by Dr. Dan Wuori, author of The Daycare Myth and Founder and President of Early Childhood Policy Solutions, Anna Williamson, Chief Program Officer at Agenda for Children, and Dr. Veronica Fernandez, Vice President of Content Development & Social Impact at Teachstone, for a candid, research-backed discussion on:

• Why babies aren’t “too young” to learn
• What great interactions really look like—for educators and parents
• How and why districts should support quality ECE to ensure better student outcomes in their communities
• How we can expand access without compromising quality
• How to cut through political noise to drive impactful, lasting change

This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-3 teachers, school leaders, and district leaders.
