Webinar: High-Quality Early Care and Education: Cost, Affordability, and Racial Equity – Mar 3
Posted by Connecting Communities on March 1, 2022
The pandemic highlighted the important role early care and education (ECE) plays in the economy. Without access to reliable childcare, many parents (particularly mothers) left the workforce during the pandemic—and a substantial proportion of these parents have yet to return. ECE is key to parental employment and also aligns with the Federal Reserve’s maximum employment mandate. Research from the Minneapolis Fed shows that children (particularly those from disadvantaged environments) benefit from attending high-quality ECE programs.
This session will include insights from research on the cost of providing high-quality ECE, the challenges LMI families face in paying for it and racial and ethnic equity for families and ECE providers. Findings from focus group discussions with parents of young children and ECE providers will also be discussed.
Date and Time: Thursday, March 3, 2022, 3:00-4:00 PM
