Child care supports every industry in our nation, but it has an unstable infrastructure. The current model simply isn’t working. Child-care businesses are failing, early childhood professionals are not paid living wages, and expenses are rising. The primary funding source is families, but families cannot afford the true cost of child care. Does this mean that all early childhood programs must fold into the public school system? Will private child care soon be extinct?
In Bridging Gaps: Implementing Public-Private Partnerships to Strengthen Early Education, author Dr. Sarah Taylor Vanover dispels the myths and explains the opportunities of a mixed-delivery system. Discover the benefits and challenges of child-care partnerships such as Early Head Start with private and family child-care settings and private child-care programs with state-funded preschools. Explore how to address credentialing, professional development, and implementing IDEA, and learn the differences between mixed delivery and universal pre-K.
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK school leaders, district leaders, and policy leaders.
