Description

Join us for the "EDx Talk: Early Childhood Education," where industry leaders and policymakers come together to explore the profound economic and financial impact of early childhood education, with a special focus on Delaware. Did you know that every dollar invested in high-quality early childhood programs can yield up to $7 in future economic returns? For Delaware residents, this investment not only strengthens the local economy but also lays the foundation for a more skilled and productive workforce.

Our distinguished panel will delve into the current benefits and future gaps in early childhood education. With Delaware facing critical shortages in accessible, quality early childhood programs, this discussion is crucial for anyone interested in shaping the future of our community. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, engage, and be part of the solution!

Panelists:

• Madeleine Bayard, Senior Vice President at Rodel Foundation
• Kirsten Olson, CEO of Children & Families First
• Julie Bieber, Director of Operations, Kingswood Community Center / Early Learning Academy
