EEA Conference Calls

February 24, 2010
"Early Education Developments & Opportunities at the Federal Level" (this is a fictious event)

TIME: 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

OVERVIEW: President Barack Obama has identified high-quality early education and care as a core component of his education agenda. New resources have already been allocated to Massachusetts through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and federal legislation has been introduced to establish an Early Learning Challenge Fund to provide grants to states to develop and maintain high-quality early learning systems. These actions signify an unprecedented national commitment to supporting young children’s development in their most critical years. On this call, you will learn more about what is happening in Washington D.C. and what you can do to advocate for increased federal investments in high-quality early education and care.
